Bruges (Cadogan Guides)

by Antony Mason (Author)

Synopsis

Whether travelers are planning their city break in advance or want instant guidance exploring, Cadogan City Guides are the ideal companions. They provide a truly accessible way into the heart of a city, with a unique introductory full-color section packed with ideas for days out and itineraries and extensive, cross-referenced maps with all listings clearly marked (the fullest listings of any city guide available). They also include a wealth of engaging cultural and historical knowledge, along with anecdotes and colorful stories written in the enthusiastic, informed, personal way for which Cadogan is renowned.The most visited city in Belgium after Brussels, Bruges attracts over a million tourists a year. Despite its popularity, Bruges remains a remarkable urban heirloom, with crooked streets, restored guildhouse and palaces and two of the most fascinating medieval art collections in Europe. Cadogan's new city guide reveals these historical charms, without overlooking the fine restaurants and stylish bars that keep Bruges buzzing with life. The guide explores the city's fatuously chic fashion stores and takes in the acclaimed WWI battlefield tours. Whether visitors are looking for the old Bruges or the new, Cadogan uncovers all the attractions of Belgium's most intimate city. Also includes information on gateway cities Brussels and Ostend, making it practical for those who fly or drive.
