Thanks to Mush & Lee for suggesting Brugge to be included in my part II of Eurore Tour. Guys... could you enlighten me with the real name of this city - is it Brugge or Bruges? Or is it one spelling in English and another one in local language, which is... well, I still clueless. Is it Dutch, German or French?
Anyhow, Brugge is a small yet beautiful, clean and relaxing city. It's about an hour journey from Brussels by train and with weekend ticket, it only costs you 13 Euro for return trip.
I enjoyed it very, very much. The entire city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage centre! And everything in the city centre is within walking distance. Hence, you may have more money to spend on your lunch in Brugge.
