- Come along with us on a day trip to Bruges, Belgium from Brussels! 🇧🇪
We’re starting our day off by navigating to the Brussels train station where we grab a train out to the tiny city of Bruges. 🚂 Bruges is unique in Europe because it wasn’t touched by either World War and all of the buildings are original. The tiny waterways that carve through the traditional Belgian houses give Bruges its iconic nickname, “The Venice of the North”! 🚤
Our first stop in the city is the nearest waffle stand for sustenance as we explore in the wintry weather. 🧇 Then we’re off to find the Bruges windmills, twisting and turning through the tiny alleys and over countless bridges and canals. 🌬 After we finally find them we decide to head for the most popular site in all of Bruges, the Basilica of the Holy Blood. 🩸⛪️ This Basilica houses a fascinating relic said to be a bit of cloth that was used to clean Jesus’ body after his crucifixion. We end the day at a quaint little bar called Monk’s where we indulge in a Stella…or two. 😉🍻

Loved it!! Love how you guys embrace and enjoy smaller cities in countries! 👍🏼
what month was this ?
If you are in Belgium you should drink a special monk beer with alcohol percentages of 7 to 10 and not a Stella which Belgians drink everyday in their pubs/ cafés ! And about the weather: you are in the northern part of west Europe and in the cold months !
Haha, yes! We like both styles of beer. Sometimes it’s nice to have a refreshing Stella after all the heavier Belgian beers. 😅 We actually love cold, wet weather! 🌧 We we’re loving the weather in Bruges and having an excuse to hole up in a little bar. 😊
Awesome stuff as always guys!! Keep it up 🤙🏼
We will! Thanks so much for watching and following along. 😄
Thanks for sharing! I loved Bruges when I was there this year & I really appreciated seeing it again through your eyes.
So glad we could take you back there! It's such a unique little town. We wish we would've spent the night to really get a feel for it!
"There is no bad weather, just inappropriate attire" love it! Nice video, thanks!
That's our motto! 😀 Thanks so much for watching!
the real reason it's called the venice of the north is that the venicians chose it as their exclusive trade post in the north in 1290. the Genuans chose Antwerp....eventually Antwerp ended up being the main port for trade between northern and southern Europe, and with the new world....
Thank you for explaining the history behind it! 😄
Thanks for showing the map of the city! Appreciated that, the stunning drone footage, and a peek at the stained glass windows of the Basilica. 😍
Aww thank you Christy! 🙌 We always love showing maps when we can.
Great video ! Thanks for sharing ! Love your content!
Thanks so much! ❤️ We truly appreciate it. 😊
Wow! That looks like a very cool city! Small in size, but full of cool stuff! Milk chocolate on a waffle....that's a first! Great video.
It was such a unique little town! We think it’s an underrated part of Europe. The milk chocolate and waffle combo was so sweet but still delicious. 🤤
Hey guys! Great vlog of Bruges!
We just uploaded our video of our time there yesterday as well and yours was suggested to us. Glad you had a great time visiting.

@@marshallandaimee Let me know if you ever do, I'll take you around and show you the sighted foreigners don't get to see.
It's interesting people keep comparing Venice and Bruges because of their canals. Yes sure, Bruges has some natural rivers, but it's not built on the water or whatever. The comparison between Bruges and Venice dates from way back when Bruges was, like Venice, a major economic trading hub. Hence the "Venice of the North".
You're right! They're very different. I think people love to make the comparison between the two because they're *kind of* similar. Nothing really compares to Venice in the end but we still loved Bruges and the little canals! 🙂
@@marshallandaimee Venice (in the south) couldn't be there in 100 years time as it is slowly sinking. Bruges on the other hand stands firm on Belgian soil.
@@flitsertheo That's good to know for sure!
What Selfie stick do you use
We actually don't use a selfie stick. We have a Joby tripod that we attach to our camera for some extra reach. 🙂
What month did you travel to Bruges?
We were there in April!
Thanks for giving my town some more exposiuor.... Ben we don't. Pre-Covid we hat 8 million tourists a year. For a town of 75.000 people, 8 million is a tad too much. We hate the fact that every single store in the city center is gerared towards you... the tourists. And not a single store is geared towards us, the people who actually live here.... Juuuust saying
We’ll warn the other 7,999,999 people to stay away for ya! Our little CZcams channel certainly isn’t the reason so many people go there. Shops are going to be geared towards tourists in a touristic town. That’s where the money is and unfortunately that’s the way the world works. Juuuust saying
@@marshallandaimee Not anymore though. When opening a new store in the city center you can't gear it to tourist now. Not having enough regular shops and stores were forcing the locals to 'have' to have a car to go do their shopping outside the city center, which if you've been to Brugge you must have noticed hardly has any parking outside of three large unground parkings that are usually full
