Product Description

The most visited city in Belgium after Brussels, Bruges attracts over a million tourists a year. Despite its popularity, Bruges remains a remarkable urban heirloom, with crooked streets, restored guildhouses and palaces and two of the most fascinating medieval art collections in Europe. Cadogan's new city guide reveals these historical charms, without overlooking the fine restaurants and stylish bars that keep Bruges buzzing with life. The guide explores the city's famously chic fashion stores and takes in the acclaimed WW1 battlefield tours. Whether visitors are looking for the old Bruges or the new, Cadogan uncovers all the attractions of Belgium's most intimate city. Also includes information on gateway cities Brussels and Ostend, making it practical for those that fly or drive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, but a couple of detail problems, June 1, 2000

By	J. Grantham - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bruges (Paperback)

This book gave an excellent overview of the history of Belgium and Bruges, and a nice overview of the main sites of the city. Furthermore, it's nice for someone only visiting Bruges that it only deals with that city. The small size makes it easy to shove in a pocket while touring.

I have a couple of nitpicks. First of all, the statement that "In the summer Belgium is seven hours ahead of US Eastern Standard time" is technically true, but misleading. It's six hours ahead of EDT. Also, "the maps in this book will provide all the detail you need" isn't true; it's very easy to get lost, since the side-streets aren't labeled.
