Now I am very excited about this as I have never been to Bruges but have always wanted to. What excites me most is the whole feeling of Christmas it will have with the lovely markets and the idea that it may well be snowing, according to the BBC weather forecast anyway, fingers crossed!
This go me thinking though, what are the best things to do when in Bruges??
So here goes, these are some top 5 attractions that we could take advantage of in Bruges.
Market Square
Otherwise known as the Grote Market. This is a very medieval square where there is always a buzz of activity going on, consisting of cafes and bars in pretty guild houses. They have events here in the summer time all focused around the extremely dominant and regal looking Cloth Hall. Apparetnly Market Square is the place to be to watch the world go by...
Groeninge Museum
One of the finest museums in Belgium, the Groeninge boasts some of the most celebrated Flemish masterpieces on display dating back to the 15th century. There are many inspiring renaissance sculptures and era defining modern art which are sure to satisfy all tastes and a likely visit will take up several hours to fully appreciate its artistic riches.
Canal Cruises
Not quite a Cunard cruise or a P&O but still a lovely way to see the City.
Enjoy an unforgettable adventure back in time through a labyrinth of serene canals that wind their way through the medieval city. You will glide beneath ancient bridges and alongside spectacular gothic churches and guild houses. Hear stories of Bruges history and its very special architectural heritage with a pleasantly relaxing few hours floating on its waters.
Shop for Delectable Chocolates
A personal favourite of mine! :)
No Bruges trip would be complete without sampling some of the delectable goodies in the world famous chocolatiers of the city. I'm not sure I will be able to resist!
Bruges Diamond House
Another personal favourite of mine!
I may well have to visit here to give my chap some ideas :) Yes, still waiting for a proposal so maybe here I can chose the perfect Diamond....hmmmm maybe just a dream....
I will take lots of pictures of my trip to share with you in a blog upon my return. I'm sure there will be tales to tell...we will also be having our awards ceremony for Best Cruise Consultant and Best Blog so fingers crossed for me and many thanks to all who have voted for me!
