If you are after a short break then Bruges is a fantastic choice. The sights of the medieval town are quite a history lesson so why not travel over on the Eurostar and soak up this beautiful town. Walking and cycling are the best ways to get around Bruges . They have paved squares and twisting backstreets, many of which are pedestrianised.
They have wonderful canals which you can float down while observing the historical windmills and you may tempt yourself when going past the Belgian chocolate shops! With the Sea only a few miles away, Bruges restaurants serve some wonderful fresh Fish and the views from the restaurants are just as good as the food. click here for the Bruges City Guide
