I read in my tourist guide that a good thing to do in Brugge was to close the guide and get lost. So I obeyed and we started to visit the nice little streets of the town. The canals, a nice and relatively quiet park, the Gruuthuse Museum (Brewery Museum)...
There were not too many people and it seemed a bit strange...We had a salmon sandwich for lunch and a famous Belgian waffle, and I decided to open my guide again to see if we had seen the main touristic atractions. It turned out that we hadn't, and that the main places were at the other side of the city!
So after our tour of the untouristic places of the town, we arrived to the touristic part, where all the people were of course. We saw the Burg place, where the City Hall is located,
and the Markt, where all the famous Brugge little houses are.
In conclusion, Brugge is indeed very nice, but seems too much like a museum city, where only tourists go to take pictures. Gent was far more interesting!
