Hey thank you. All links will be in the video description under ‘more’

I just spent a few days there. Walked 20 miles, met the locals and learned 5 phrases from the locals. I would love to go back for a longer period of time. Heck, I'd love to live there! My favorite place I've ever traveled to!

Incredible video, we were in Bruges last November and we loved the legends of Bruges tour as well!

the grote market looks so beautiful during christmas! i would love to visit this city one day. thank you for sharing!

Went to see Coldplay in Brussels last August but we popped down to Bruges for the day. Blew me away, beautiful place and without a doubt the best chocolate I've had

I find your videos so real its as though I am right with you both enjoying the actual views of the places you visit. Thank you.

Great Vid. I was "In Bruges" back in 2013. This vid brought back some nice memories. We drove from London (via ferry) and it took 7 hours door-to-door. Once in Bruge, it was easy to use the train to visit Brussels and Ghent.

I went and saw the Historium while I was there and it was wonderfully tacky. Bruges at Christmas has to be one of the best journals you've done. Very impressive

Xmas eve & day themself are not the best moments to be here (there probably will be a few cafes or parties, but don't really count on it). Shops close earlier (or even the entire day), even the Christmas market closes earlier those days. Most people don't go out to celebrate, they stay at home with family and/or friends

fantastic

Love your voice plus accent....

In my city Kuala Lumpur,also in Genting ,Melaka and Penang we can get nice chocolates.Also Singapore has chocolate shops too.I like bicycles too .

Ghent is great too, just as good looking and not as touristy

Love you Suitcasemonkey ❤

I know I'm late, but I just stumbled on this amazing video of the place where I live ;) 1) Just a bit of info: it's not pronounced "mini water" but more like "min uh water".) The verb "minnen" is old, and as far as I know it's not used anymore. A variant on it, "beminnen", does get used a bit (not often, but at least it gets used once in a while). Both "minnen" and "beminnen" mean the same: to love 2) If you ever come back to Bruges and want to visit more places that offer a lot of beers, you should visit either 't Brugs Beertje, or 't Poatersgat. Both are cozy places that also have a huge beer list ;) 3) I also *absolutely love* the fact that you put so much focus on walking! Bruges isn't big indeed, and you get to enjoy the atmosphere and visuals of the city much more than if you'd drive around (car/bus/bike..) Plus, it's great that you did a mix of typical touristy stuff (boats, Belfry, guide tour...) AND less touristy locations (like the windmills) You got lucky that you came 3 years ago, because after that, the city decided that the "outdated" wooden booths on the Christmas market had to be modernized. They replaced them by black containers, made it so it becomes a booth and that's it :( I really enjoy watching this, as I can see how beautiful it was so short ago.

The "minne" in Minnewater doesn't mean love though but rather it would have a more mundane, geographic and/or administrative origin.

I've spend last 10 months in Brugge :)

At 0:12, Colin Ferrell also played Gellert Grindelwald (but in disguise form as Percival Graves) in Fantastic Beasts movie.

Bruges.... The place that i like to be visited after Ghent. 🎉

The cheapest chocolate store is the one at the very beginning of the block, next to the boats booth.

Yup, to save on the amount of trucks driving back and forth (but that pipeline system is only from 1 brewery: De Halve Maan). It is a positive for: - the environment (less noise, less reparations needed to the streets...) - the other environment (less CO2 and other gasses) - cost efficiency (pumping liquid through a pipe is much cheaper than multiple trucks a day) The brewery is in the city center, and the bottling plant is outside the city center.
