I recently watched the movie 'In Bruges' and fell in love with the vibe of the city. Is it as awesome as it seems in the movie?

I'm planning a trip to Europe and am seriously considering adding Belgium to my list of countries to see. Is it worth it? It seems you don't hear a lot about Belgium in general as a popular tourist spot. Anyone been there that could offer me some advice?

Hey Matthew

YES! A trip to Belgium (and in particular Bruges) is a very good idea.
Belgium is in fact a very popular tourist destination within Europe and a weekend in Bruges is common for many Europeans as it's right up there with the rest of Europe's top cities. There is plenty to explore as it's quite romantic with its meandering canals and cobblestone streets and it's known as Europe's best-preserved medieval city which guarantees heaps of history and historical sites to visit - great for tourists!

Explore the museums, sample plenty of beer and chocolate and stroll round the streets to get a feel for the city. The museums are also worth a visit - great art on display!

I hope this helps you reach your decision! Enjoy!

If you plan on using your time wisely, skip Belgium and go see some other more worthy places in Europe. The Netherlands has gorgeous cities plus it is more touristic and beautiful!
