Bruges, the world's history

Who hasn't heard of this marvellous city. Bruges has a name which is not easily forgotten, certainly not for someone who has visited this city and wandered around in the curling alleys. This city is all about world's history. The concept of banking and stockmarket were born in this city. Facts most people never knew. The canals through Bruges remind of a time were all trade and commerce was dependant upon waterways. The Unesco placed the entire innercity on the list of world heritage and with good reason. Bruges is a must see during your lifetime. The most romantic city of Europe will easily charm you. Trust me and try it.

Of course in such a city it is difficult to know what to visit first so i have pointed out a few important places.

• The basilic of the holy blood : They have a relic containing Christ's Blood. It is on display every day and absolute worth visiting. The basilic itself is a very old roman church who breath's history.
• The famous belfry which you should climb to the top. ( not for person who are in a bad condition because there are quite some steps)
• Maybe not so well known are the diamond museum, the chocolate museum and lampmusuem. But they are certainly worth a visit.
• Of course describing everything in this city is simply impossible

Bruges is also enourmously rich on hotels and restaurants. The choice is overwhelming which makes it difficult to decide on your hotel aswell as your place for dinner.

Hotels come in all sizes and shapes. Luxurious expensive hotels aswell as small very charming familyhotels which make out the biggest part of hotels in Bruges and most certainly are preferred. (By me anyway). I give you a few hotels in Bruges which are my personal favorites.
The Pand hotel in Bruges is a very luxurious charmant and cosy hotel but ofcourse has a priceticket to it. If that is not a problem than is the Pand Hotel an absolute preferred choice. Hotel Walwyck is a fairly new hotel and just renovated, has a better price and is located very calmly in the heart of Bruges, Hotel Walwyck is most definitely worth a visit. Hotel Het Gheestelic Hof is situated in the centre of Bruges near the Market Square in a old mansion. Good price/quality.

Restaurant are even more numerous than hotels in this city. I have visited quite some and these are thé restaurants i personally preferred. Restaurant Aneth, Restaurant Arthies and Restaurant Curiosa.

From Bruges it is easy to visit some other cities worth visiting like. Knokke-Heist, Ostend, Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels
