Bruges

Bruges (or Brugge in Flemish) is a town in the province of West Flanders in Belgium at some 15 km from the North-Sea coast and at one hour by train or car from Brussels, the capital of Europe. The Dutch border is half an hour away and it will take you less than an hour to go to Lille in France. High speed trains and excellent motorways assure a fast connection with Paris, Cologne and Amsterdam, while from London you can cross the Channel in less than no time to visit beautiful Bruges.

Bruges is in the first place renowned for its medieval architecture everywhere in the old city centre and for its large-scale historical and traditional events.

Its cultural offer is vast and accessible. No efforts are spared to please the visitors culturewise. Historical pageants and Burgundian feasts are inextricably bound up with Bruges.

Belgium is renowned for its excellent cuisine and Bruges stands for refined gastronomic delights, a city where tasting is an art, and where chefs endlessly combine tastes, shapes and colours.

Nearby Zeebrugge, the port of Bruges, is the perfect seaside resort. The beach is huge and the sea refreshing and safe. The vessels in the port evoke images of far-away horizons.
