Chocolate shop in Bruges
A small town of canals and chocolates this was my first impression of this place.Being born and brought up in desert area of Marwar (rajasthan) I am always fascinated by greenery and water bodies.
Tourists from all over the world come to rajasthan to visit sand dunes in desert but I have appreciation
for lakes canals and gardens .When we reached to Bruges after driving for one and half hour from Brussels (Belgium) I had no words to describe the beauty of this place.
This whole town is full of canals with beautiful houses at the sides of these canals.Cobblestone streets
gives the feel of ancient place.One can see lots of historical buildings.
This place is famous for its chocolates,tapestry and laces.
This town is so much touristic that all the restaurants in market place is always crowded.Do not get surprised if you have to wait for your turn into a restaurant.
One can see buildings and houses as old as 15th century. A ride of horse driven cart makes Bruges all the more interesting.

As this place is at the sea shore so it was an important port for the transportation of goods from eastern europe.Once Bruges was considered as main commercial city in the world. The concept of share trading originated from this place in early 17th century.this place has been a UNESCO world heritage site since 2000.
