Medieval Buildings of Bruges

Bruges is part of our European trip from last year. Earlier I did a post on Amsterdam. We came to Bruges on our way back and it was our second last stop. Our stay here was so brief we hardly got a chance to see anything.


The drive into Bruges, despite the diversions, was one of our most memorable trips. The roads we travelled were even narrower than the roads in Ireland. Surprised by the picturesque surroundings we couldn't wait to get to the city. By the time we crossed the town gates, we were eager to explore the area in the short time we had.


Unfortunately our enthusiasm got the better of us. Exhausted from travelling on a motorbike all day we managed to get out for dinner. On our waddle back to the hotel I took these photos. They are a constant tease and reminder to go back.


Even with the limited time we had in Bruges, it was one of our favourite destinations from the trip. History seeps out of this charismatic city. On every corner there are Gothic red brick buildings and quaint cobble lanes. Church spires, towers and canals embellish this photogenic town. Bruges makes you feel like you're in a fairytale.
