This guide to Bruges has been a long time coming! I visited in 2011 - before I started Travel Notes - but was already in the mindset of taking hundreds of photographs and noting down things to do, eat, and see.
I wrote an article for my local newspaper about how, when I first arrived, Bruges didn't meet my expectations of a chocolate box city. This was entirely based on the rather 70s-ish concrete building where the coach dropped us off, and once we started walking further into the city, I started to feel like we were going back in time.
