Bruges Tourist Information
Coming from the train station, you can either take a bus into the old center of Bruges or walk. Especially if it’s a sunny day, it’s a nice walk into the center. You can walk by the ‘Minnewater’ (Lake of Love). 10 must sees according to the tourist information:
Besides the boat trip you can also take a ride with a horse and buggy. There are a lot of shops in Bruges. Not only clothes, but chocolates too! My personal favorite is ‘The Chocolate Line’. You just have to go in, if only for the chocolate aroma :) ACCOMMODATION I stayed once at Martin's Hotel. I thought the rooms were nice and clean. And the location is great! More hotels in Bruges PERSONAL TIP If you want to buy Belgian chocolates (and you should :) keep this in mind. You can buy the packages of chocolate of the brand Cote d'Or in a supermarket a lot cheaper than in the chocolate stores. Leonidas has very good pralines, for a reasonable price.
