We're locals, living a short distance from Brugge. We've never seen this city this way before. Fantastic videography capturing the beauty of Brugge and especially so with almost no tourists and without any tourist boats at all the canals act as mirrors to double our viewing pleasure. Thank you so much for this, we wish you all the best and hope that your health is soon back to full strength. Take good care. Philip & Luc
I took the train from Brussels to visit Bruges in 1999. It was as quiet, peaceful & beautiful as this scenic video. There were no crowds & it really felt as if time stood still from hundreds of centuries ago.
Because of Covid it is quiet. But normally it is overflowing with tourists. Unbelievably busy normally. Also in the canals there are many tourist boats, now it is quiet ans zen. A unique moment recording this video.
Hmm maybe not. I knew Brugge in the late 70’s and it was wonderful. Friends of mine visited in 2018 and while they found it beautiful they said the experience was spoiled by overwhelming crowds because it’s now one of the top tourist hot spots of Europe. While I could go back at any time I prefer to remember it the way it was. Of course this might not concern you, just a bit of advice 😊😊
@@paullewis2413 I think it is the same anywhere in the world we visited in the 70s. Trips now unbelievable could be done such as UK to Australia “ Overland” . Good to remember things as they were. No chance of us being allowed to leave the country until mid next year.
When I first visited Belgium 20 yrs ago,I felt like I was in a fairy tale,even though it was raining aaaall the time!! I spent 2 weeks in wonderful,charming Namur as a volunteer in an international workcamp, digging the ground on a medieval city fortress,enjoying a beer outside on rainy evenings.....crazy!!! I miss that so much.
I had an opportunity to visit Bruges in 1999 while in the travel business. It is indeed one of the most beautiful cities I had ever seen. We rented bikes and toured around and also took a canal boat trip. Wonderful time in a lovely city!
Gosh, this is unadulterated beauty., looks like fairy tale. Thanks God it resisted to modern architecture and technology that just spoils everything. Thank you for this video. I will dream about this magic city for a long time.
The flowers whisper and the trees shout. Life is buried in the sway of the leaves. The wind carries the language 😌 I can only admire the amazing scenery.👍
We stayed in Bruges for a few days and how every corner brings back incredible sweet memories. Thx for reminding me how my love blossoms with my partner in this romantic medieval city. We are married now & wish I could one day bring my partner there again! Greetings from down under, Melbourne Australia 🥰
I was thinking this was taken at dawn but then I realised wow! This is probably the most unique view of the city that post pandemic people will see as a lesson in history
When there is no tourist in front of the camera, it feels like watching the scenes from a movie with the background set in the Medieval Age. Very beautiful place, very peaceful as well.
With a large part of my family being from Brugge I've been there so many times, yet I never get tired of seeing it. It truly is one of the prettiest places I have ever been.
@@SAZTravel The other aspect about Bruge and the images shown in the video is that it isn't one of those places you can cover ina few hours and be done. Bruge is a comparatively large city and you will need to spend a few days there to get the benefit of the day ambience, evening and night. To fit that all in, needs time.
Amazing architecture and magical scenes that look like they come straight from a fairytale. Thank you for sharing! I will watch this one over and over again!
So lovely to ”go back” to Belgium. I lived and studied there almost 20yrs (!) ago and visited quite a few cities. The country has a really good network of both lit highways and traintracks that it’s a pleasure to explore all the historic cities. I wish you’ll upload more cities yet, such as Antwerp, Binche, Liège and of course Brussels. Thank you anyway for your videos, they are always such high quality and informative. Nice that you have recovered from the virus, all the best to you! 🤩
I've been in Bruges 2 years ago, it is a stunningly beautiful city. I especially liked the places near the water where swans swim - such a peaceful feeling! Doctor, all your videos are perfect - your choice of subjects, your shooting skills, your choice of music. Talented person is talented everywhere :)
Bruges is an incredible place .. I went in December 2017 and spent a day ... we traveled from Brussels which was where we spent Christmas. Everyone says that to see Bruges you have to visit it one day. But I was left wanting much more. and I hope to go in the future for 2 or 3 days and enjoy the city quietly. Greetings from Gran Canaria
Excellent video. I lived in the Netherlands in the 90s and Brugge was my favorite city for a weekend retreat. I visited as much as I could. Thanks for the memories. I will return.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for posting this video of Bruges (Belgium) it truly was an eye-opener on how beautiful this city is. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos
I have been traveling the world together with my partner for over ten years now and one of the things we love the most is the freedom that travel and this lifestyle gives us. So your video brings us back some adventure, excitement,things that we lost the last year and we definitely need....... Thanks for sharing,keep going my friend!!!!!!
Me and my Mrs used to go to Bruges twice a year. We can not go anymore because P&O ferries have stopped doing the trip. Absolutely gutted. We miss it so much.
Welcome back. I have said it all before so I won't repeat, but your videos are utterly perfect in every way. This video has convinced me that, although I am a a lover of Venice, Bruges is even more beautiful. Thank you for this most hauntingly beautiful work.
Oh thank you for this. It’s bring back so many memories. I was visiting Bruges during my first trip to Europe in September 2019. Such a peaceful place with beautiful architecture.
Hi Traveler, how are you feeling? Bruges is a beautiful city. And amazed at how it is all pedestrianized (read: Very little cars) which only maintains it's medieval charm. Beautiful. I love old churches. Hope all is well.
I like this video which shows still water of the canal reflecting the builings above it and the beauty of the stained glass windows. Bruges looks more beautiful through your camera. Thank you
Hey doc. Consider yourself blessed to be living in Belgium. Bruges seems like such a magical place. Out of a fairy tale. I appreciate the way you have panned your camera on the spires and the pristine blue sky. Incredible. Belgium will be next on my travel list. Can"t wait to see the new video you have uploaded.
Such a gorgeous city. While it’s a shame that we’re unable to travel to such a city, this video looks all the more impressive without the tourists everywhere. Its like you’ve taken a step back in time.
In September I am doing a house swap for a month here. I recently retired to the Costa del Sol in Spain. Your video is perfect. Very informative. Am more excited than ever to experience this historic beautiful city.
You captured this city so beautifully-stunning videography! I will hopefully be visiting Bruges in Oct. ‘21 & am now more excited than ever to get there. Thank you for this lovely tour!
Thank you so much for this video!!!! It reminded me so much of my years in Europe and how those years were filled with that feeling of my ancestry! You're the best!
The tranquility is of course caused by the pandemic. In normal times it would have been a lot busier. This tranquility, the beautiful light during the film shoot and the quality of the recording makes this a unique document.
I grew up in the center of Bruges and it breaks my heart to remember thinking it was an overrated shithole. But visiting it now every once in a while (I'm in college and live in a bigger city nowadays), I see the true beauty of Bruges and I've learned to appreciate it more. I'm glad to see others enjoy it as well! I used to hate it because there isn't that much to do for the younger generations. For example when going out, a lot of restaurants and bars are mostly catered for tourists and unfriendly towards the locals, unfortunately. Also, the huge amount of tourists can be an annoyance for the locals, crossing busy streets without looking for traffic, standing in the way to take pictures,... So if you come to visit, please keep that in mind! Be friendly and be considerate for others around you! :)
I took a short solo trip to Belgium last year's Feb before this Pandemic. Unfortunately I only explored Brussels, I sometimes regret why the hell I haven't been to Bruges. Damn I don't even know when this pandemic will get over and I'll plan to Belgium again most probably.
The belfry sounds like it has a full carillon inside of it. We have one near me called Bok Tower in Lake Wales, Florida. It sits on the highest point in Florida and the tower is made of pink marble. It's a favorite spot of mine, as well as for other artists and patrons looking to relax in the beautiful gardens that are surrounded by orange groves

I cried watching this. Unexpected emotions.
You did a great job capturing the beauty of Bruges.
My only visit to Bruges was in 1974 when I met an Australian lady who became my wife. It brought back pleasant memories. I must make a return visit.
Hey, that was the year I visited it for the first time, while stationed in Nurnberg, Germany and sent TDY to Mons!

A lot better photos than what I have. It rained when I was there. Good to see it on the screen. Beautiful city. I remember all the lace there.
One of the quietest cities out there. I go there up to 5 times a year. Beautiful pictures.
Gosh, this is unadulterated beauty., looks like fairy tale. Thanks God it resisted to modern architecture and technology that just spoils everything. Thank you for this video. I will dream about this magic city for a long time.
I have been to Bruges twice and loved every minute off my time there.
Beautiful and another piece of the world to be enjoyed. Thank you.

Bruges looks very peaceful in the sunshine and well looked after.

This is indeed a beautiful city... will go back soon...
Have u been there mate?
@@SAZTravel yes, twice. Especially nice during the summer or when they do their Christmas markets.
@@seyley2901 oh nice, i was once during spring and it was nice too

These scenery and landscapes and cityscapes are comfortable to the eyes and the mind
There is something extraordinary in there scenery

Bruges and Gant both wonderful
Ghent ......!

Doctor, all your videos are perfect - your choice of subjects, your shooting skills, your choice of music. Talented person is talented everywhere :)
Glad to have been there pre pandemic. Your videography skills are first rate.
Beautiful city. Those canal reflections are eye popping! Visited 30 years ago and looks just as amazing.
You have brought us another remarkable memorable experience, thank you 🙏

Your home is now on my bucket list. What a rich history. Take care and be safe.
Utterly beautiful. One of your best, I think. I'm glad you're feeling better.
Thank you 🙏 ... I feel much better
I went there for a day trip,I think it's one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to.
I'm gonna visit Bruges in 2 weeks for the first time, I can"t wait
Enjoy your trip
What a lovely city indeed! it looks so tranquil I just wanna sit on one of those benches all day long.

It is lovely city. Very scenic.
Thanks so much. Brugge is my best romantic place!. Hugs from 🇲🇽
Forever love Brugge!
Thank you for sharing this lovely video. Bruges is one of my favourite cities and the video brought back happy memories.
It looks so peaceful there :)
It is, although I visited some years ago and the city was full of tourists, most Japanese
Because of Covid, normally Bruges is overwhelmed with tourists every day.
in 2018 even saw 8.3 million visitors
What a wonderful place is your city. The music was perfect. Awesome video !!!
I saw more of Bruges in this video than I did when I was there six years ago. I love how quiet the streets are, so beautiful.
I like this video which shows still water of the canal reflecting the builings above it and the beauty of the stained glass windows. Bruges looks more beautiful through your camera. Thank you
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing the walking tour in such a lovely city. Blessings!
All of a sudden I want to visit Bruges! What a beautiful video, thank you so much.
what beautiful city!
I was there couple years ago.. it’s lovely
This city is so clean! No trash on the streets or waterways!
Was lucky to have lived in Brussels for four years. Made a lot of trips to Bruges and Ghent. Both are beautiful!
This feels/looks like a professional video . The right light, great angles no snacking tourist shuffling along, long shots.... Well done !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bruges is beautiful and the fact that this channel has a video on it is something I’m watching when I want to go on vacation but can’t.
So beautiful. Thank you for this video.
I love Brugges, I used to visit every year. There is a fabulous Hans Memling museum and a flea market.
Hey doc. Consider yourself blessed to be living in Belgium. Bruges seems like such a magical place. Out of a fairy tale. I appreciate the way you have panned your camera on the spires and the pristine blue sky. Incredible. Belgium will be next on my travel list. Can"t wait to see the new video you have uploaded.
This is one of your most beautiful gems. Your calm camera handling made this one of my favorite videos. Amazing. Thank you so much.
Sweeped my heart away💙 what a mesmerizing city😃
Very well done. Lovely documentary with a discreet music which brings peace and serenity.
Bruges is such a beautiful city with rich history and not to mention fine chocolates ;-)
Wonderful video....photography, music and the city itself....so relaxing to be taken on this ride....like a meditation...
Amazing, you are capturing this footage of Bruges during lockdown? I’ve never seen Bruges so tranquil.
Yes ... It was surreal to see the city without tourists
Love this, looking forward the next one! Great to make series of country cities!
Such a gorgeous city. While it’s a shame that we’re unable to travel to such a city, this video looks all the more impressive without the tourists everywhere. Its like you’ve taken a step back in time.
beautiful Bruges ❤️ thank you for the lovely video
Love Brugge, I hope to visit Again! 👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾💜🇧🇪🍫
Love Bruges! Many thanks for the video.
Благодарю Вас, за прогулку по Брюгге🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I miss Europe so much 👍❤️
Where are you based mate?
In September I am doing a house swap for a month here. I recently retired to the Costa del Sol in Spain. Your video is perfect. Very informative. Am more excited than ever to experience this historic beautiful city.
A very nice video of a beautiful city. Brings back lots of memories. One remark though, the worlds first stock exchange is the one in Amsterdam!
Very nice views, I pray who ever sees this be successful in life 💖❤️
Hi. Which camera is used for shooting this video,😍
La Venise du Nord, à visiter.
Keep sharing with us guys! Such a great place 😍😍
You captured this city so beautifully-stunning videography! I will hopefully be visiting Bruges in Oct. ‘21 & am now more excited than ever to get there. Thank you for this lovely tour!
Très belle ville, la prise de vue 4k est magnifique.
Exquisite in every way. 👏
Your choice of the sound track is pure class
Thank you doctor
Thx 😊
