Synopsis

Bruges City Guide 2015 is THE most comprehensive guide to visiting the 'Venice of the north'; this guide contains up-to-date information (opening hours etc.) on ALL places of interest, museums and attractions, and will be revised every year.

The convenient address guide will help you find the best shops, hotels, bed and breakfasts, cafés and restaurants, while the fold out street map will help you get to your destination. This definitive little guide includes three atmospheric walks, as well as cycling routes, through the city, helping you discover the incredibly diverse museums, from the Groeninge Museum, featuring fine art from the 15th to the 21st century, to the Hospital Museum - two medieval hospital buildings in the centre of Bruges, enjoying a new lease of life as art galleries; monuments, such as The Belfry, with its carillon that has rung every quarter hour for over 700 years; well-known locations, such as the historic city centre - A UNESCO World Heritage Site; and picturesque, hidden alleyways. It also includes tips from locals, letting you in on the secrets that only those native to Bruges would know, and features information on cultural events.

Bruges City Guide 2015 illustrates how this historic city, with its cherished architecture and artistic treasures - and its breweries and 50 or so chocolate boutiques - really does have something for everybody, whether you're planning a daytrip or a weekend getaway.
