Visit Brugge - The graceful small city of Brugge (Bruges) has
drifted down the stream of time with all the self-possession of the
swans that cruise its canals. To step into the old town is to be
transported instantly back to the Middle Ages, when Bruges was among
the wealthiest cities of Europe. Unlike so many European cities that
have had their hearts torn out by war, Bruges has remained unravaged,
its glorious monumental buildings intact. UNESCO has recognized the
cultural importance of the historic center by awarding it World
Heritage status. The city (pop. 115,000, of whom 25,000 live in the
old center) is the capital town of West-Vlaanderen (West Flanders)
province, and the pride and joy of all Flanders.
Medieval Gothic architecture is the big deal here. Sure, there's a
layer of Romanesque; a touch of Renaissance, baroque, and rococo; a
dab of neoclassical and neo-Gothic; and a smidgen of Art Nouveau and
Art Deco. But Gothic is what Bruges provides, in quantities that
come near to numbing the senses -- and likely would do so if it
weren't for the distraction of the city's contemporary animation.
