Visit beautiful bruges

Bruges



The city of Jan Breydel



Bruges was one of the most powerful cities on the continent during the Middle Ages. It was a pivotal hanzeatic city in Western Europe. This medieval pride is still visible in the historical centre of Bruges. For example, the statue of the popular leader Jan Breydel is still to be found on the Big Market Square. Sauntering about the numerous canals and streets of Bruges is a unique experience. Bruges often is called the "Venice of the North". In 2002, Bruges became part of the select group of cities on the World Heritage list of the UNESCO.



Bruges is often referred to as one big open air museum, but that would do unjustice to the city's authenticity and cultural value. Bruges has a rich history and owns a rich cultural and artistic patrimony. The Bruggemuseum is a collection of as much as 11 different museums, going from monk made manuscripts, some of the most famous Flemish Primitives, but also contemporary art and architecture, etc. The stunningly beautiful beguinage in Bruges is probably one of the most unique in its kind. It is a must to visit Bruges if you are interested in art, culture and beauty. There are plenty ofhotels Brugge. I strongly recommend to always book your hotel in Bruges in advance, as the stream of tourists never really stops during the year.

Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent From Bruges

From Bruges to?


A lot of interesting cities are easily to be reached from Bruges. If you want tovisit Belgium for a week or two, why not explore the country after your stay in Bruges.

Antwerp


At first I recommend to visit Antwerp. Recently, Time Magazine included Antwerp on the top ten list of most interesting cities. Antwerp has a rich cultural history. After Bruges' port became too brackish, the port of Antwerp became the most important one in the world. Furthermore, Antwerp is the hotspot for all hipsters and partypeople. Therefore, it is a must to spend your night in one of the numerous hotels in Antwerpen. Why not stay at Hotel Antwerp, that is a magnificent modernist building. Near the monumental Central Station, you can find the Diamond Hotel in Antwerp, offering comfortable rooms at affordable prices. If you are willing to pay for something more expensive, I can recommend Hotel Prinse Antwerp. All these hotels in Antwerpen are ideally located in the city centre.



Brussels

Brussels, for instance, is within one hour from Bruges. Belgium's capital city is also the political core of the European Union. So it is obvious that there are plenty ofhotels Brussels. Brussels has a wonderful historical heart and is a true multicultural metropolis. Hotels in Brussels can be quite costly. The Hotel de France can be a good choice. This hotel is located near the South Railway Station. If you can afford something more expensive, you can go to the five star Le Chatelain All Suite Hotel, which is located in the centre of Brussels, offering all essential luxury and comfort. To conclude, if you are looking for something in the middle price range, there is the Hotel Van Belle. It is ideally located between the Old Market Place and the South Railway station. It is wise to take your time when you look for a hotel in Brussels thoroughly. After all, there are a great deal of hotels Brussels, but they are not all as good.
Ghent
If you find Antwerp or Brussels too crowded, you can visit Ghent. The city has a famous city life. Furthermore, Ghent offers a fascinating history, that still shows in its historical centre. It's a must to spend a night in a hotel Gent. For instance,Hotel Chamade Gent is centrally located. It is a perfect location for both tourists and business people. Or you can choose for the historical Hotel Saint Georges, that overlooks the pompous City Hall. One of the most hotels in Gent is the Ghent River Hotel. Reason for that is that it can be reached by boat, as the facade overlooks the right bank of the river Lys, in the very heart of the city. Some say that the Ghenthotels in Ghent don't have the same charm as the hotels in Brugge, but they sure are less expensive and located in an equally interesting city.
