Bruges is fast becoming the crossroad of Europe's independent travellers. It is known by some as "Venice of the North", Bruges is Europe's best preserved medieval town devided by canals and full of the charm that older buildings and the Flemish people provide naturally. A town that survived the Dark Middle Ages with an exceptional young heart.

The best way to visit Bruges is to spend at least one night in one of the many beautiful and cozy hotels. Later in the evening, when all the tourists have gone, Bruges finds back its charm and quiet of old times. When one is lucky with the weather, a stroll through the tiny medieval streets can be an enchanting experience. Bruges is always beautiful, in the summertime as well as in the wintertime. Lucky visitors will never forget the city after they have seen it on a snowy December or January day.
