  • Join me on a walking tour in Bruges (Belgium), one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
    During the Middle Ages, Bruges was one of the commercial and cultural metropolis of Europe, and home to famous artists such as Jan van Eyck and Hans Memling. Because of its exceptionally well preserved gothic architecture, the entire city center of Bruges was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.
    The cobble stone streets, majestic city squares, world-class museums and many cultural activities make Bruges a unique travel destination that charms millions of visitors each year. Because of its many canals, Bruges is often referred to as the Venice of the North.

    We're locals, living a short distance from Brugge. We've never seen this city this way before. Fantastic videography capturing the beauty of Brugge and especially so with almost no tourists and without any tourist boats at all the canals act as mirrors to double our viewing pleasure. Thank you so much for this, we wish you all the best and hope that your health is soon back to full strength. Take good care. Philip & Luc

      Hmm maybe not. I knew Brugge in the late 70’s and it was wonderful. Friends of mine visited in 2018 and while they found it beautiful they said the experience was spoiled by overwhelming crowds because it’s now one of the top tourist hot spots of Europe. While I could go back at any time I prefer to remember it the way it was. Of course this might not concern you, just a bit of advice 😊😊

The country has a really good network of both lit highways and traintracks that it’s a pleasure to explore all the historic cities. I wish you’ll upload more cities yet, such as Antwerp, Binche, Liège and of course Brussels. Thank you anyway for your videos, they are always such high quality and informative.

Bruge is a comparatively large city and you will need to spend a few days there to get the benefit of the day ambience, evening and night. To fit that all in, needs time.
