Watched this video last year when we were planning to go to Belgium. And we finally visited Bruges this year. It is probably the most beautiful and peaceful town in Belgium. We tried to compare it with Ghent in our travel vlog, because we found Bruges lot more captivating than Ghent.
I visited Bruges in early April 2009 when I was eighteen (but turned nineteen in the same month). I went there with my father by the way. Bruges is a picturesque city in my opinion and it has lots of historic buildings and architectures. I thought it looked like we went back to the medieval times! We didn't visit any museums unfortunately but we only wandered around the city, that's all and we also visited the clock tower known as Belfry of Bruges (Dutch: Belfort van Brugge). This famous medieval tower has an incredible view of the city. I just loved it there. I'd say Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, not just in Belgium 🇧🇪 or Europe. I'd love to visit there again sometime in the future. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
It was great. I wish we would have stayed in Bruges instead of Brussels. Or in Amsterdam which we are in now . We are close to finishing up our trip, then back to Germany Sunday and Tuesday back to the US.
We will be there is September! Local friends will give us a tour. Have you heard of a candy called noses? My daughter wants me to bring her some…. Okay, watching your video now! Thanks!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Bruges isn't as expensive as one might think, considering it's so often jammed with visitors. Prices in general are typical of this part of Europe, and things become more affordable if you go at least a few blocks away from the main squares in the city center, especially with hotels and hostels.
Isn't as expensive ? Go for a ice cream and a coffee for three in one of the shops around the square and then call back to me 🙄🙄🤦♂🤦♂ (By the way : i'm from Bruges)
We went here yesterday and we saw the relic that contained a cloth with the actual blood of Jesus. I dug into it at home and it was the real cloth. I didn't know it was hidden there and it caught me by surprise when I walked inside of the Cathedral. The priest was guarding the relic and praying. She invited me over to take a look. My wife, I and my friends were almost the only ones in the church, so really amazing.
Great coverage with excellent explanations . Glad to watch this video. Long time ago, I had been to this city. Kind regards....from.. Castle-Mahansar, Rajasthan, INDIA.
@@worldwildhearts I did was pretty good boat trip was very good only bad thing about Belgium it very expensive my mum said by far most expensive country she been to was fun tho
@@worldwildhearts yh was fun love ur guys double decker trains they looked awesome and bruges is a beautiful city Venice of Belgium lovely rivers but 20 quid just for a burger is ridiculous we only stayed there 2 nights and 500 euros gone on food and drink but apart from the over the top pricing had a good time
Welcome to Brugge... I hope you enjoyed your visit. But you don't get the Van Eyck museum. He was one of the Flemish Primitive painters. He was tasked by the Vatican to paint a portraid of the Pope. 'That' was the money he used to start a hospital here
Excellent explanation. Great tour. Thanks a lot for sharing this, I once had been to Bruges long time ago. Kind regards.... From Castle-Mahansar, Rajasthan, INDIA.
Not sure you can fly it there. We actually used stock drone footage in this video... you should check the local rules before going. It's a beautiful city though and can easily be combined with Ghent as it's so close as well.
Hey guys, im thinking about visiting Belgium but i have not to many days. The thing is, im gonna be sleeping in Brussels, i thought: 1 day for Brussels, 1 for Ghent and 1 for Antwerp. Do u think I should change to doing morning in Bruges and evening in Ghent? I dont wanna go around in a rush. What do u think I should do? Missing Bruges?
Personally, we think the highlights in Belgium are Brussels, Ghent and Bruges. We’d skip Antwerp instead… Bruges has lots of medieval architecture that you can’t find anywhere else. Brussels has the country’s icons like Manneken Pis and the Atomium, and Ghent all together is an amazing city with a vibrant center, beautiful castle and true Belgian culture
Hello, I’m planning a trip to Belgium, knowing that my partner isn’t at all into visiting museums, how much time do you think we should spend in Bruges and Gent?
You could spend a day in each if you want! There’s other things than museums, like the boat tours and castle in Ghent! But the cities aren’t that big and you can definitely walk around the city center in a day. Enjoy the delicious food and try some Belgian beers ☺️🍻
That's because during the World War, the Americans who were located in the French speaking part of Belgium thought they were in France. They were getting fries from these small fries places and started calling them "French fries".
I made a reservation for your hotel through booking, there is a mistake in the reservation, I need to fix it, I cannot reach you, I sent an e-mail, I called you and I could not reach you.
You have to contact the hotel directly if there is a mistake with the booking. You can usually find a phone number in the booking or you can also contact them via the Booking Platform Chat. We don’t manage any bookings, we only recommend places we stayed at.
Gent and Bruges are close indeed!! Both are great places to stay. Gent is more vibrant because it’s bigger and has many students/young professionals! Bruges is more quiet
Hello I am a writer working for a Korean SBS broadcasting station. Our program is planning a broadcast with the theme of "Belgium" Can I use your youtube video as a broadcast material? We promise to use it after we indicate the source.
Good video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
Thanks for your comment! In Belgium most people do speak English so you can easily get around without learning Dutch. But it’s always a bonus to know the language! We love learning different languages… have been learning some Spanish over the years and it’s very helpful when traveling around South America!
@@worldwildhearts I was born in Bruges. Vol au vent is popular but I think French Fries and steak or stew is number 1. Good video's, travelling is the best time of the year! :-)

I think you summed it up - explore on foot, just wander the streets and canals! Such a beautiful place.
Yea it’s a beautiful place 😊
I visited Bruges last weekend and it's definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the world, not just in Belgium. :)
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
The movie “in bruges” made me want to visit this fairytale of a town so much
Me too! And I'm so happy I did. It's Europe's hidden gem.

Exactly! We stayed in an Airbnb right outside the center and it was not expensive 😊

And don't forget to visit the windmills in the surroundings of our medieval city :)
Windmills are everywhere in Belgium!

Back during the Chromofix days, Bruges saw some strange occurrences because of that Dicker Addison fella.
Changed that city.
Never heard about him!
2:13 "frietmuseum", dat klonk Nederlandstalig hoor :-)
Were here in zeebrugge but i never been yet tp the city i hope we can haha
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing! So you can fly drones in Bruge? If so, we are bringing ours. But can't decide between Prague and Bruge / Ghent this fall.
Not sure you can fly it there. We actually used stock drone footage in this video... you should check the local rules before going. It's a beautiful city though and can easily be combined with Ghent as it's so close as well.
I live in bruges
Nice!
I operate my phone calendar to ensure I plan in breaks. If I didn’t, I would be one lonely bunny 🐰
it's like fairy tale
Yes like a medieval fairytale 😉

what was the name of the bar near the canal? Little Venice......
It’s called: 'T Klein Venetie
I plan to go here only because of the movie "in bruges" I want to watch the movie in bruges.
it's dumb I know, let me enjoy myself.
No judgement!! We’ve never watched it but maybe we should 😌
Whats the name of the port you said to start the boat tour at? For the Venice view
It's near the 'Klein Venetië café". Location on Maps: maps.app.goo.gl/pdbmHcKARg63C5c78
Mc Donalds has potato fries too.Melaka in Malaysia has boat tours too
Comparing Mc Donald’s fries to Belgian fries is extremely insulting 😵
Why are they called french fries if they derive from Belgium? I always wondered about that (I'm half Belgian)!
That's because during the World War, the Americans who were located in the French speaking part of Belgium thought they were in France. They were getting fries from these small fries places and started calling them "French fries".
Is it French speaking? Flemish? Lovely video
Flemish! 😁
How much a ride in the canals
You can find a link in the description to see boat tours. Prices have been going up in the last year so hard to say exactly!
I made a reservation for your hotel through booking, there is a mistake in the reservation, I need to fix it, I cannot reach you, I sent an e-mail, I called you and I could not reach you.
You have to contact the hotel directly if there is a mistake with the booking. You can usually find a phone number in the booking or you can also contact them via the Booking Platform Chat. We don’t manage any bookings, we only recommend places we stayed at.
i waGnt your opinion about something...i will visit Belgium in 2 weeks...which place is better to stay?? Genk or Bruges???
Bruges is better in our opinion! You’re thinking of Genk or Gent? Those are two very different places and Gent is really fun as well 😊
@World Wild Hearts The good thing is that these 2 places is nearby and can see them both
Gent and Bruges are close indeed!! Both are great places to stay. Gent is more vibrant because it’s bigger and has many students/young professionals! Bruges is more quiet
Do most places take credit card?
Yes absolutely!

What’s Briuzh?
Not sure what you mean with that!
@1:26 The swans are still there. How can fucking swans not be someone's fucking thing?
the swans are nice!
You know I don't much like Bruges. It's like a fucking fairy tale or something.
Vol au vent is French :-)
It originates in France but it’s also very Belgian. I’m from Belgium myself (Ine) and this is definitely a staple in my region
@@worldwildhearts I was born in Bruges. Vol au vent is popular but I think French Fries and steak or stew is number 1. Good video's, travelling is the best time of the year! :-)
2/5 video, kind if boring to be honest, I'll watch some other ones
It's like a f**king fairytale or something.
fucking bruges
Didn’t like it?
came here for this
That is a line from Colin Farrell in the movie called In Bruges. Also starring Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes.
lmao dont visit friet museum, thats just stupid. Enjoy the scenery
Amazing! What camera were you using???
Thanks! A mix of our canon eos 80d and go pro hero (I think back then it was the 9)
