Day 13: Brugge

Brugge is perhaps one of the most picturesque, best preserved medieval town in Europe. It's the most visited town in Belgium and is the capital of Flanders.

No, there's nothing to do with Ned Flanders in the Simpsons.



Flanders belongs to one of the three regions of Belgium.

Brugge is a mere one hour train's ride away from Brussels.

I shan't do any introductions in this post. Let the pictures do the talking.



























This town is small enough to be covered in an entire day. The number of chocolate shops are not that many compared to Brussels. However, we came across a shop with a sign which wrote...

In order to preserve the quality of our chocolates, customers are advised to enter the shop only when you intend to buy.

What the?!?

How to attract customers like that? No wonder no patronising customers lah!

On the whole, I think Brugge is a quaintly romantic town. Paris is so much over-hyped as being romantic to such an extent that smaller towns are being conveniently ignored.
