My most favorite city in the whole world is Bruges. It's atmosphere always overwhelms me completely. It is only a 45 minutes drive from here, so we go regularly.
As today is our wedding anniversary ( http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=86431) , and yesterday was very sunny, we decided to go walking in Bruges. Indra was home too, so she joined us :)
Here are 19 pics. I hope I can give you a general idea of what makes Bruges so special :)

Your pictures are lovely, Lut. What a beautiful place. On the 2 or three occasions I have been in Brussels, I have never had enough time to go to Bruges. People always say it is beautiful for a visit.

Yup!! No need to travel far away; this is less than an hour from here! And Bruges is so "ROMANTIC" ;)

I confirm that Bruges is so special!
It is nice you had a great wheather just yesterday, with all these lately awful weeks we had.
For those would still hesitate to visit Bruges, here is a New Year's Eve picture (with snow, but hardly visible):
