Many people do not know Bruges until they watch the movie “In Bruges”. It is interesting that even on the poster of this movie, it says “It’s in Belgium” underneath the movie title as it is true that not many people know there is such a beautiful city exists in Europe.
In Bruges - a movie makes Bruges into a popular destination in Belgium.
Bruges is named as “The Venice of the North”, this city successfully preserves the medieval look image that becomes one of the favourite tourist destination for both the local Belgians as well as other visitors from United Kingdom, Netherlands and France. Tourists from London can easily take Eurostar to Brussel and transit to Bruges in three and a half hour in total.
The canal boat trip is a “must do” in Bruges. Indulge yourself in the romantic setting with the charming old houses and pictorial bridges along the canal. There are also over 20 museums in Bruges including the most popular one – the Brewery “De Halve Maan” – which you can enjoy the beer after the tour. Another famous one is the diamond museum where you will get the chance to see how a diamond is polished in the daily show.

If you would like to have a weekend get away from city life, Bruges (it’s in Belgium!) would be an ideal option for you.
