Name: Bruges, Belgium
Visited: 2022
Vibe: beautiful city, could be used for a European city stage set. Lovely red brick houses and public buildings, cobblestone streets, charming canals, tiny Christmas markets. However was very crowded, tourists seem to have overwhelmed the city center.
Food: waffle shops abound, but most have long lines. City center restaurants were turning away customers, but if you go about 15-20 minutes away from the center, there are a number of eating places with convenient good food (soups, sandwiches, waffles etc).
Chocolate factory demonstration: mildly interesting but not enough to spend too much. Gift shop has chocolates from around the world.
