We were in Brugge 7 years ago and enjoyed it a lot, and love the beers. We are going again for 5 nights this September. Can any kind member give me an idea of what prices to expect to pay in € for good beers in the well know bars such as Le Garre, Brugs Beertje, Cambrinus etc? I know beer prices often depend on alc% strength, but we would just appreciate some idea so we know how much money to take!! Replies greatly appreciated, thank you! John

I am travelling to Belgium to stay with friends in the west of the country in the summer. I am considering having an overnight stay in Brugge on the way there, partly to break the journey and also because it is a place that I have always wanted to visit. I will have my 3 children with me aged 14, 11 and 9 and wonder what Brugge has to interest them. I am very easily pleased but my children less so and I do not want cries of "I'm bored" throughout our time there! If Brugge is not a place for kids of that age, I may be better to carry on to our destination. Any advice greatly appreciated.....

My family is planning to spend 3 or 4 days in Brugge, I was wondering if anyone could post some links of apartments that might be available for rent? Links to bed and breakfasts would be ok too.

Hello, Hope you can help me cause I really need it! :) Next week I will be travelling to Belgium and I need to arrive from Gent to Evergem. I am not decided yet what option is the best to arrive there (cause I don't really know my way around those cities) so I hope you can help me out: 1. What tram can I take from Gent to Evergem and from where exactly (taking into consideration that I arrive at the train station of Gent)? 2. If I take a taxi, which one do you recommend and which is also cheaper? Thanks so much! :)

As I am not from Evergem, can you please tell me where can I find a grocery shop near Koolstraat street? I don't have a car, so the nearest possible would sure help. :) Thanks a lot!

Any comments on this hotel in Brugge? Is it in a safe area? is it clean and centrally located?

My problem is that my 12 hour layover in Brussels is on Monday. I was excited about the prospect of 7 hours in Brugge until I read in the "Rough Guide" book that "everything is closed on Mondays." Are there somethings open that you would recommend that I visit on my walk about the city? Is it still worth the day trip? or is there somewhere else (other than Brussels) I should go as an alternative? Thanks

Do the guest rooms at the Ghent Marriot Hotel (Ghent, Belgium) have bathtubs or showers? Many thanks, FVB

We are going to Brugge by car in the summer.We were planning to be over night,but now we have started to think,that maybe we could go to Gent for night.Hotels are more expensive at Brugge,and I started to wonder,is there anything special at night-time?I noticed that there is no night-life-tips at VT at all. I don´t mean nightclubs or anything"wild",but would we miss anything,if we would come in the morning,and leave before dark? Sometimes we have been n very lovely and romantic town a day (like Rothenburg ob der Tauber) and when we like to go eat late at night,there has been only 2-3 restaurants open,and whole town so quiet,that it would have been the same if we would have slept at another town.
