Bruges, an old Belgian town spared the destruction World War II wrought on most of Europe, is not without charm. It's churches and cobblestone streets, barely wide enough for cars speak to an older time in Europe. It's squares are large and filled with merchants and surrounded by buildings centuries old.
For all its charm, Bruges did seem content to capitalize on its status as a tourist destination. As such, beyond its historic beauty there is little to the city. Worth a visit, it's certainly not a final destination for travelers, and though pleasant, I'm not sure it's a destination to which I will return.
