Bruges: The Perfect Day Trip from Brussels
Brussels is such a lovely city rich with history, gorgeous architecture and fabulous beer. But if you are itching to explore, Bruges is just a short train ride away. Bruges is capital and the largest city of the province of West Flanders. Trust me, when you arrive in Bruges you will notice the Flemish influence. The street names alone are tongue twisters having more consonants than most English words.
Chicago’s coffee and pastry scene is on a roll, literally. From buttery croissants to flaky buns stuffed with all sorts of delicious surprises, this is one city that knows how to do breakfast ( and snack time) properly. Sure, you can still find your classic drip and a plain scone, if that’s your thing, but why settle for basic when you can have a longanisha stuffed croissant or a latte that is the epitome of balanced and silky smooth.
