Bruges (Dutch: Brugge) [1] is a town in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium. Relatively cosmopolitan and bourgeois given its compact size, it is one of the best preserved pre-motorised cities in Europe and offers the kind of charms rarely available elsewhere.
We're catching one of the frequent trains that zip from Bruges to Brussels in about an hour. La Grand Place â Europe's grandest square â is just a short walk from the train station. Brussels got a late start. Six hundred years ago, it was just a handy place to buy a waffle on the way to Bruges. Then, it was given free-trade status and its economy took off. By 1830 it was the capital of an exuberant and newly independent country â Belgium â booming with the Industrial Age.
