So we grumpily, yet excitedly jumped on the train and went to bruges.

Caption: I think there's a hidden yet unmissable romantic quality to this city,
The smell of the air
The sound of the horse's footsteps
The lines of old brick buildings creating this vertical-lined rainbow in my eyes.
I think bruges was constantly flirting with me

All of the restaurants surrounding the main square are (obviously) tourist traps
Fortunately
We did some digging and manage to find some great food place hidden behind the alleyways

Its a city where if you look to your left, is a place rich in romantic traditions and poetic architecture
But when you look to your right, you get this metropolitan with zara and all
And both sides sing together harmoniously
