The historic center of Bruges has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 thanks to its status as one of the commercial and cultural capitals of Europe and its enduring Gothic architecture.

2. Permeke Museum

4.5 based on 20 reviews
Reviewed By Kris S - Brussels
The first floor of the museum provides an overview of the evolution of painting styles and skills from the famous Belgian painter Permeke. Several paintings and statues are exhibited. Permeke has lived in the house and some pictures reflect personal souvenirs. You can also walk outside in the park where some other statues are displayed. Jabbeke is located between Bruges and Ostend and therefore interesting if you are staying in this region.
3. Lange Max Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 188 reviews
The Lange Max Museum is a must-see place for the World War I tourist on the German side of the western frontline. The farmyard is the centre of this curtural and touristic location. A long lane takes you from the farmyard to the remains of the artillerie platform of the former German cannon 'Lange Max'. In a brand new contemporary museum, the visitor learns all about the huge cannon that was designed to bombard Dunkirk. The German occupation of Koekelare gets full attention. A unique exhibition tells you all about the organisation behind the frontline. The production of army goods ran at full speed in Koekelare. The little bakehouse still contains traces of the German presence and is redesignated as a multi-media room. You can relax on a cosy Terrace enjoying a 'Kanonbier' or homemade pancakes.

We visited this museum on September 21st. In front of the museum is a free parking lot. There is an entrance fee with or without audio guide. When we visited there was a temporary exhibit about the consequences of the flooding (inundation) by the Belgian Army for the Germans during the Great War. Be aware that till the end of November you will not be able to visit the artillery platform where the Long Max stood.
There are 2 parts in this museum: one about the daily life of the inhabitants of Koekelare and the German occupier, and the other one about the Long Max, a big gun.

This is an amazing place! A herb nursery with a long and interesting beer menu and huge selection of herb and fruit teas. When we visited, it was warm and sunny so we sat outside on the pleasant Terrace adjacent to the herb garden, which contained almost every culinery herb you can think of, all labelled (in Dutch, obviously) and in attractive beds.

The Burg Square near the Markt place is one of the most beautifull places from Bruges.
You can take a lot of photo's from the City Hall, the Church of the Holy blood, the lovely other buildings on this square, the horse drawn carriages, etc. You can set on terras or in tearoom and look to the many visiting people. A must see if you visit the old town of Bruges.

We took a tour of this brewery. It was very interesting and they offered a beer at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing near the bar on the sofa and enjoying our drink. It was a nice activity to escape the crowds in Bruges.
