Yr video is always good...👍👍
Do Suriname (see you don't even know where that is... exciting)
You're videos are very good sir.
@SuitcaseMonkey thanks for your videos you inspired me to do the Lake district years back after watching your video. Now I get to visit Brugge and I came here. Am looking for the links to the walking tour
Hey thank you. All links will be in the video description under ‘more’
Incredible video, we were in Bruges last November and we loved the legends of Bruges tour as well!
the grote market looks so beautiful during christmas! i would love to visit this city one day. thank you for sharing!
thumbs up done! Love your style and your videos. Thank you for this one.
I just spent a few days there. Walked 20 miles, met the locals and learned 5 phrases from the locals. I would love to go back for a longer period of time. Heck, I'd love to live there! My favorite place I've ever traveled to!
Best Bruges video I have seen so far. Thank you!
I find your videos so real its as though I am right with you both enjoying the actual views of the places you visit. Thank you.
Wow that’s such great feedback, thank you!!!
Thumbs up on your travels. Love those Pastry Shops. 😍😍👍
I was planning to go to Bruges from long time.. I think this 10mins video explain everything. Thanks very much for your information. The reason i like your channel is , you explain everything detail but in Short form.. very less people got this ability..keep it up👍
Man that looks just breath-takingly beautiful. The food looks delicious!
Was there 2 years ago - it was absolutely fantastic! Thank you for your Videos !
Your shots are very creative and pretty! They make you remember it all well after watching! Wayy to go!!
Thank you! 🥰
Hi, what a nice video! I live in Bruges and I love seeing this kind of videos because I sometimes forget how beautiful my city is 😻 glad you had a nice time!
Oh cool, always great to hear from a local! Glad I did it justice!
Went to see Coldplay in Brussels last August but we popped down to Bruges for the day. Blew me away, beautiful place and without a doubt the best chocolate I've had
Enjoyed your video! I’ll have to put Bruges on my bucket list👍🏻
dont
I’ve been offline for a bit but back watching your vids. I’m sold on Bruges but going to book a hotel far out of town so I can eat all that chocolate and cake. Yum. Cheers guys
Great Vid. I was "In Bruges" back in 2013. This vid brought back some nice memories. We drove from London (via ferry) and it took 7 hours door-to-door. Once in Bruge, it was easy to use the train to visit Brussels and Ghent.
Beautiful videos and narration! Thank you for sharing. I’m definitely subscribing!😁
Welcome!
Amazing video! I am going to Bruges next month!!
thank you for the tips!
Enjoy!
You two are hilarious. Straightforward. Thanks.
👍
Great video we are off to brussells next week with plans to go to bruges and ghent for the day. This has got me even more excited and good knowledge how best to spend our day
Very interesting! I like your videos 😍!
You are welcome 🙏
Thank you for this video👏🏽
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thanks for this video. I took notes. I will be there next year!
Enjoy!
Awesome video! I was skipping Burges on my summer 2020 travels and I reconsider after watching your video. Well Done!
Oh wow that’s great to hear!
Drooling 😜...great vid 💖
Beer, Chocolate and good food, Wow - foodies heaven!
Adding Bruges to my travel bucket list
Just back,fantastic place and great people.
Thanks for your sharing. I like chocolate so much
I went and saw the Historium while I was there and it was wonderfully tacky. Bruges at Christmas has to be one of the best journals you've done. Very impressive
Thank you. Yeah I think we looked at that place at the entrance inside. There was a mannequin talking i think... 🤔
Great place to travel and awesome place to walk as well. Great work.
At The Old Fashioned Chocolate house, just did the canal tour in the rain, am SO looking forward to this!
Thanks for sharing
Lovely video...i am going there in February
I've been wanting to visit Belgium but didn't know if Bruges was worth a stop - now I think I'll def have to check it out!
Ha! In Bruges is definitely put the city on my radar for a day trip
You’ll be wanting to come back after spending a day there! Easily one of my favourite cities 😍
I visit every few years. Just a wonderful place
Your video is getting me excited to visit Bruges. We will be trading our tropical weather in Guam for cold weather in Europe from November 2022 to January 2023.
I was in Bruges thirty years ago and it’s a beautiful city 👍👍👍👍
Excellent vision and voiceover
my top 1 in my recent solo trip last july 2019. i love bruge.
This is such a great quality and informative video. Awesome work!
Nice you've been to my country!
Very nice video 👍 👍
Love this! I went to Europe last month and skipped Bruges because I already went to Amsterdam and thought they are a bit similar. This video definitely convinced me otherwise its now in my top bucket list!
I consider that a huge compliment, thank you!!!
Don't come please we have enough tourist 🖐👋👋
Bruges, Ghent and Dinant are far more beautiful than Amsterdam, very different. Especially Dinant is stunning.
"a bit similar" Both have canals, that's where the similarity ends.
Love brugge💯💘💯🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🖤💛❤ .. nice video
Beer wall one word, fantastic
So much chocolate!!! I went to Bruges for a day trip from UK years ago for the Christmas markets, they were so festive! New to your channel, subbed and looking forward to seeing more 🥰
Hi there and welcome! I post once every 6 weeks or so, so please enjoy our back catalogue until the next one. Working on a new London video at the moment. Thanks for your support. 😀
@@SuitcaseMonkey awesome, hard to do much travelling at the moment! Will check out some of your others too 🙂
I just Discover you and now I See you went to my hometown. Remember I come along in 3 weeks to London 👍
Hope you enjoy!
Definitely Colin Farrell. But, I like your Bruges much, much better. So lovely. You guys are a dab hand with your camera. Too bad Colin didn't eat any chocolate. His Bruges would've looked happier. Glad you went for the Xmas season. Looked yummy!
Haha, thank you!
Thumbs up.... Done!!!!
This is one of our stops on an upcoming NCL Cruise. I had no idea it was such a charming place. I am looking forward to experiencing all that Bruges has to offer. Thanks for the great video. Good editing. It flows well.
Thank you, enjoy your cruise!
How did you enjoy Bruges (and the cruise?) :)
@@mvl8209 Welllll. It got canceled because of covid. We never made it.😞
@@TheBBBB0B Nooooooo!
Any plans to redo that cruise, (or specifically come to Bruges for a few days)? Or no plans (yet?) at the moment?
@@mvl8209 We did a LAND cruise last spring; IceLAND, IreLAND, EngLAND, and ScotLAND. Unfortunately, we could not get the same itinerary. No plans to go back to the continent...yet.
fantastic
In my city Kuala Lumpur,also in Genting ,Melaka and Penang we can get nice chocolates.Also Singapore has chocolate shops too.I like bicycles too .
Love your voice plus accent....
How lovely Bruge is
Best video I’ve seen on here of Bruges, Great info 👌 I definitely want to go and would love to spend Xmas eve and day here 😍 not sure what’s available to do here on the big day 🤔
Big compliment, thank you, it’s appreciated! 🥰
Xmas eve & day themself are not the best moments to be here (there probably will be a few cafes or parties, but don't really count on it). Shops close earlier (or even the entire day), even the Christmas market closes earlier those days.
Most people don't go out to celebrate, they stay at home with family and/or friends
You all seem like such nice people ...would love to hear about some of your bloopers ..lol.....
Haha. This did cross my mind for this video. May do it one day!
I went for a few days at the tart of 2020, very nice small city.
I've spend last 10 months in Brugge :)
Hello, I live in Bruges and I have a Guestsuite Lady Anna Bruges in the center of Bruges and I’m happy to give the link of your video as an introduction of their visit. Thanks.
Love to see a Christmas video of UK & Europe
It’s on carry on monkey our second channel
@@SuitcaseMonkey awesome will watch 👍🏼
At 0:12, Colin Ferrell also played Gellert Grindelwald (but in disguise form as Percival Graves) in Fantastic Beasts movie.
Bruges.... The place that i like to be visited after Ghent. 🎉
Love you Suitcasemonkey ❤
I personally live in Bruges. And I love how lovely you illustrated my home town 💕
That means a lot. Thank you.
We hebben al genoeg toeristen.. ni nodig meistje
Ghent is great too, just as good looking and not as touristy
As a Belgian I approve this nuanced and correct image of pur lovely historical city!
Tip: do NOT count on flawless, strictly timed trains...we re not Switzerland. WE have " vertraging" delay ...
Yes,as a fellow Belgium I agree with everything here.
That is if the trains are running at all, if there isn't another "staking / grève" (strike). Though strikes are more a Wallonian speciality.
I was only there for a short time I love Belgium I like it's Grit
super
Oh I live in Bruges! Posted a video about it too :)
The cheapest chocolate store is the one at the very beginning of the block, next to the boats booth.
I know I'm late, but I just stumbled on this amazing video of the place where I live ;)
1) Just a bit of info: it's not pronounced "mini water" but more like "min uh water".)
The verb "minnen" is old, and as far as I know it's not used anymore. A variant on it, "beminnen", does get used a bit (not often, but at least it gets used once in a while).
Both "minnen" and "beminnen" mean the same: to love
2) If you ever come back to Bruges and want to visit more places that offer a lot of beers, you should visit either 't Brugs Beertje, or 't Poatersgat. Both are cozy places that also have a huge beer list ;)
3) I also *absolutely love* the fact that you put so much focus on walking! Bruges isn't big indeed, and you get to enjoy the atmosphere and visuals of the city much more than if you'd drive around (car/bus/bike..)
Plus, it's great that you did a mix of typical touristy stuff (boats, Belfry, guide tour...) AND less touristy locations (like the windmills)
You got lucky that you came 3 years ago, because after that, the city decided that the "outdated" wooden booths on the Christmas market had to be modernized. They replaced them by black containers, made it so it becomes a booth and that's it :(
I really enjoy watching this, as I can see how beautiful it was so short ago.
The "minne" in Minnewater doesn't mean love though but rather it would have a more mundane, geographic and/or administrative origin.
Wao Sir its so nice nd beautiful Place....specially the food Place....... I am from Pakistan.........
Hello!
I live there and never wanna live elsewhere!
I lived in Villers-Saint-Ghislain for over 10 years. It will always have a special place in my heart. ❤
How are your teeth? :D
We are going in november ! Any recommendations ? :D Best bar for beers and cocktails ? best waffles ? hahaha most importante for me
@@loutropical360 just hit me up when you are here, i am ready for a pub crawl. Whats better than drinking with locals (please let it be on a weekend)
Gent is much better to live in than Brugge. But people From the dont like other city in Belgium
Goodness so pretty it's like walking in Diagon Alley bigger version.
I've been three times, October 2018 and August (on my birthday) and November 2019. I'm planning to go again next year. Brilliant place to visit. It's also impossible to go there and not buy/eat chocolate and beer. I've tried, but didn't succeed.
😂😂😂
Bruges is difanately our top 10 bucket list to visit in Europe. The city is so beautiful it feels like your walking in a medieval era. Love the beautiful country of Belgium 🇧🇪
Yeah it definitely does!
Bruges would be a great place to spend Christmas! 😁
Don't come please we have enough tourist 🖐👋👋
Wow beautifu place 👌👌👌👌👍👫
Wow. Thanks for checking out lots of my videos!
and biggest thing people forget and don't do at 20 minutes you at the beach , go to de haan lovely also beautifull and close to bruges .
Yummyyyy....Chocolates....😩😩😫
Haha 😋
Did you take a boat ride? There’s a dog that watches the river from a window right on the river:) love the vid!
Haha. No we didn’t unfortunately. Sounds great though! 😀
Unfortunately, that dog died a few years ago already (somewhere around 2015-2017, if I remember correctly) :/
Do you have any recommendation place to visit for my next trip? Please give me some advices.
Hi there. I recommend the places in this video. 😊
How is the city with dogs? i want to drive there from London with my dog. are most restaurants/cafes dog friendly ?
A bit late but maybe useful for other visitors : in Belgium dogs (and other pets) are not allowed inside businesses (shops, restaurants, etc, ...) selling food. However, if the weather allows it you can sit outside on the terrace with your dog. In other places, it depends.
Visiting Belgium in December. Which would you suggest? Brussels or Bruges or both?
Cant decided weather to stay in bruges or ghent......
Hi can please tell me what camera do you use. Thanks
A
All my videos are shot on iPhone. I always put which one in the description. This was XS I think. I’ve even made a video about how I shoot on smartphones
Suitcase Monkey ho
Oh really. The videos are impressive . Thanks for info. Have a great weekend. Stay safe .be safe. Travel safe :-)
Beer runs through pipes under the cobbled streets?! Wow, that is different! Lol
Lol apparently so!
Yup, to save on the amount of trucks driving back and forth (but that pipeline system is only from 1 brewery: De Halve Maan).
It is a positive for:
- the environment (less noise, less reparations needed to the streets...)
- the other environment (less CO2 and other gasses)
- cost efficiency (pumping liquid through a pipe is much cheaper than multiple trucks a day)
The brewery is in the city center, and the bottling plant is outside the city center.
Pastries!
Lol 😝
Im a penny pincher at heart and i find it spooky at how much it cost just to lay my head down for a few hours in a hotel ot motel....they are making bank on their prices for a room no matter what country it is .....lol...
Visit the Torture Museum in the Wollestraat. It has 95% authentic and sometimes used torture devices. It's located in a basement where prisoners were held before being escorted to the market square for execution.
Used torture device. One owner. As good as new.
lol...i live in bruges
All footage from last year right?
Yeah we went this time last year.
it's like a fairytale town innit
the horse and cart tour is now 60 euro
The horses are 50€ for 30 minutes.
In which month you visited Brugge?
