Bruges (Dutch: Brugge) [http://www.brugge.be/toerisme/en/] is a town in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium. Relatively cosmopolitan and bourgeois given its compact size, it is one of the best preserved pre-motorised cities in Europe and offers the kind of charms rarely available elsewhere. Bruges is a postcard perfect stop on any tour of Europe. (Bruges Wikitravel)
