Belgium: Bruges and Brussels

Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | We start in Bruges to check into a medieval hospital, savor the exquisite art of Memling, climb a bell tower to get up close and fortissimo at a carillon concert, and sample fresh frites and the world’s tastiest chocolate. Then we ride the train to Brussels, where we stroll Europe’s finest square, revel in Bruegels’ country scenes and Magritte’s surreal dreamscapes, then pay a visit to the bustling hub of European democracy. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #belgium Visit for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
