Known as the Venice of the North, Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
It was a justified motive that prompted UNESCO in 2000 to include the entire historical city centre on the World Heritage list. Walking along the maze of winding cobbled alleys and romantic canals, you imagine yourself to be in medieval times. The wealth of museums is a striking image of this city's stirring history.
Bruges is also home to contemporary culture, such as the new Concert Hall, which is one of the most prominent music complexes in Flanders.
The restaurants in Bruges which offer gastronomic cuisine and the exclusive hotels are a true feast for those who enjoy the good things in life.

Bruges is an open air museum. It doesn't look big on a map but there is so much to see : museums (Groeninge, Gruuthuuse, Saint John's Hospital...) offer a collection from the Middle Ages up to contemporary art.
Churches : eg. Church of our Lady (with white marble Michelangelo statue).
Breweries - Brugse Zot, with excellent beer tasting www.halvemaan.be
chocolate museum : www.choco-story.be : history, demonstration and tasting of chocolate
New architecture : Concert Hall, Toyo Ito Pavilion, Coupure Bridge, Barge Bridge. Bruges didn't get stuck in history but wants to integrate modern architecture - which is a challenging task;
This and a lot more - everthing in walking distance from the hotel.
