Advantages: Very interesting and picturesque

Disadvantages: Can be very tiring

Me and my husband went to Bruges on a mini cruise at Christmas time. It was a really enjoyable day with plenty to do and see but it was very tiring.

Bruges has a lot of interesting architecture and also a lot of history, however if you want to go and look in builidngs and museums then expect to pay some admission. There are a lot of places to eat but not many coffee shops or tea shops and a few of the places we went would not allow you to have a drink without purchasing a meal as well. The town of Bruges is small enough so that you can get around on foot but there also seemed to be plenty of buses.

If you fancy seeing the town from a different angle then Bruges offers boat trips down the canals and also horse drawn carriage trips. They are quite pricey but well worth it.

As you would expect Bruges is full of chocolate shops and gift shops which again are quite pricey however the chocolate that they sell is extremely delicious.

It is definately worth a visit to this beautiful place as it is so close to England. I would also recommend going at Christmas time so that you can visit the Christmas markets and the amazing ice and snow exhibition!

Summary: Definitely worth a visit
