After moving from Canada to Europe, we began exploring new cities affordably on long weekends. For All Saints' Day, we visited Bruges, renowned for its charming architecture, rich history, and delicious food. Traveling from Düsseldorf by Flixbus, we stayed centrally at Novotel and enjoyed exploring on foot. We savored delightful bagels at Sanseveria, indulged in exquisite chocolates from The Old Chocolate House, and sampled local beers at 2Be Moodshopping. Highlights included the Market Square, Basilica of the Holy Blood, and picturesque Minnewater Park. Despite a few hiccups, such as crowded cafes and mixed reviews on certain foods, Bruges left us enchanted.
