I visited Bruges on my second of four clear days in Brussels. A lot more untouched, this Bruges, in the northwest of Belgium is a predominantly Flemish town and about 90 minutes by train from Brussels. The improved weather I was hoping for didn't materialise and I was constantly darting in and out of small shops to avoid the regular drizzles. I spent only about half a day here and as such didn't really get a chance to explore the whole town and its museums and galleries. I did, however, go into the Stadhuis (top picture) which is like their town hall and has a very nice display on the second floor. Unfortunately no pictures of that (as usual its not allowed).
Another feature of this town is the river or canal that runs around it. Taking a boat ride along the canal seems to be a popular tourist activity.
