Bruges Belgium City Center
Bruges is a Dutch speaking city of Belgium located in the Flemish Region and largest city in the province of West Flanders.
Bruges is a member of the World Heritage Cities Organization since 2000. Bruges was also the European Capital of Culture in 2002.
Bruges is called the “Venice of the North” because it has many channels that surround or cross the city. There are still remnants of the fortress and mills, alongside the canals surrounding the city center. Bruges has an important port and hosts the College of Europe.

You live in Bruges in Belgium? I was there just last weekend! Great city! Took the small boat trip on the canals! Really lovely!

Well I lived & loved there, but now I live in Heist about ten miles from it (guess I love the sea most of all), but I tend to go there every weekend: just can’t leave it! I usually go to the Bauhaus, whitch is a budget hostel with a very nice & easy bar! But if should need some more, it’s only a stroll to get into the city center. That’s what I like about Bruges as well! It’s a bit like the gallicians against the Roman empire around here. I learnt you don’t need big places to get freaky!

Xarj, your videos remind me of times I finished school there: to celebrate, me & my classmates dressed up like vikings and went on boat canal trip. We almost rocked the boat over! I think we were in many tourist’s private photo albums from that day. Damm (indeed)
