Just like for many people I’ve met my interest to visit Bruges was born after watching a movie called “In Bruges” with Colin Farrell. We may have different taste in movies but I do recommend watching it. Bruges turned out a little different from I expected but it is in some parts just like the movie described it, “a fairy tale” (with an irish accent:). Stone houses of flemish/dutch architecture along the canals, people riding their bikes along the same canals and tiny streets that make you feel like you went back in time. It can get a little surreal sometimes. At least it did for me.
