Brugge

We went to Brugge!

It is a city from the Middle Ages, in remarkable condition. It is amazing. People still live there, in Middle Age houses. You have Zara and lingerie shops and restaurants, all inside Middle Age buildings. It is amazing.

Brugge is called the Venice of Belgium, as it was historically a water city.







This is a famous church, Church of Our Lady. The Madonna and Child sculpture is Michelangelo's only sculpture to have left Italy in his lifetime. 







City Center. It looks modern, right? Nope! These buildings are all from the Middle Ages!





















Belgian lace is quite famous. This is a lady making it outside a shop.\



I definitely bought some Belgian lace table runners. Expensive but worth it!










We ate lunch in Brugge. The ceilings in this restaurant were incredible - again - all incredible old. 




I got a traditional Flemish dish - a Flemish stew. It was amazing!



Belgian chocolate is also world renowned, and it is absolutely amazing. Brugge is full of chocolate stores. I ate a lot of chocolate while there. Apparently there is quite a demand for erotic Belgian chocolate...
