A Trip to Flanders (Belgium) by Marc

Flanders is the Dutch speaking region in Belgium. Located next to The Netherlands, Germany, France and Luxembourg. Belgium’s most famous cities are Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges.

The best time to visit Flanders is certainly in the summer. Winters get cold, but not extreme.  You DO have to visit the city of Bruges with the world famous historical centre. Bruges is one of the oldest cities in the world with lots of canal. Bruges was founded in the 12th century and was a world leader in the weaving industry.


Right now Bruges gets over 2 millions tourist a year from all over the World.  DO eat some famous Belgian waffles in the city center.  If you are over 18 you can try a Belgian beer like Jupiler, Leffe, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden and, if you are not drunk yet, you should try a Duvel.

Bruges is more than just old buildings, it also has a great night life with lots of cozy bars and night clubs. One of better clubs is located in Zomergem: the name is Kokorico.

    These photos are so very cool. Makes me so homesick looking at stuff like this. I grew up in Germany and miss it so much. But I shall return one day 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
