When you think of Belgium, what is the first city that comes to mind? Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent? I was on the same boat until I traveled well over 24 hours to get to Bruges (Brugge), Belgium. It's a charming little city boasting with so much life and extremely friendly residents. I do want to highlight that there are no direct flights into Bruges. I flew into Brussels and my options were to hop onto a train or take a private car/taxi. I went with the latter and fell asleep during the two hour transit (the hotel arranged for my driver to meet me at the airport). Bruges was so magical and since it's so much higher up in the equator compared to San Diego, it was still bright at 11PM!!! This was at the end of June 2022! Watch the rest of my trip below and continue on for more pictures!
