Second visit to this wonderful city and just as perfect as the first.
Brugges has got to be one of the most romantic small towns in the world. Beauty, culture and friendly folk in a picture-perfect setting. Its so beautiful and walkable to everything you would want to see or do. Extremely safe even late at night.
We stayed at the Cote Canal B%26amp;B and I can%26#39;t say enough about this outstanding B%26amp;B and Caroline who owns and runs it. The most wonderful B%26amp;B we have ever stayed at. Did a separate review for anyone interested. Its a two-minute walk to the town center. Extremely quiet and romantic. Only problem, as with all old buildings, there is no elevator and steps to the rooms could be challenging to older folk or people with special needs. The incredible view and garden right on the canal is wonderful. The house is full of antics and history. Caroline is a gracious host and so friendly. Breakfast was to die for. Fresh squeezed orange juice and fruit bowls, warm rolls of all kinds, meat, cheeses, and eggs cooked anyway you want. Fresh ground coffee, etc. Breakfast is served in the garden when its nice outside. Huge rooms with private bathrooms and spotlessly clean.
Had some great food at Diligence on Hoogstraat 5. Right around the corner from Diligence another great place with super yummy fish dishes. I lost the card so can%26#39;t post the name.. .sorry. Its on the same side of the street as Diligence and is only open for dinner closed Mon %26amp; Tues. Maybe someone can help out here. Ate dinner at Cambrinus and it wasn%26#39;t as good as last year. Still an incredible place for their house beer that comes in light or dark.
Took the brewery tour and it was fun. Who couldn%26#39;t love a Zot brew at the end. Came home with some Zot glasses.
Took the boat ride all over again to marvel at the incredible beauty at every turn. Not to be missed by any visitor to Brugge.
Evenings are just wonderful when the crowds go. Anyone wanting to visit Brugge should try and stay at least one night.
Train ride from Amsterdam to Brugges was very easy to do.
