A Day in Brugges

We went to Bruges by train at around 11 o'clock together with the Belgian exchange students. When we arrived, we started exploring the city with them. They showed us around and told us about some of the most important sights. Bruges is a beautiful city with lots of old buildings, small streets and canals. We walked through the city centre and visited the famous Market Square, where we could see the Belfry, one of the most well-known landmarks of Bruges. We also walked along the canals and had time to take pictures and look around. One of our programmes was visiting a chocolate museum. We learned about how chocolate is made and why Belgium is so famous for it. After the visit, we went to some chocolate shops, where we could see and buy different kinds of Belgian chocolate and pralines. We also had the chance to try some traditional Belgian food. We ate Belgian waffles with different toppings and tried the famous Belgian fries with various sauces. There were many places to choose from, so we could explore the local food as well. Later, we had some free time to walk around, visit shops and buy souvenirs. In the evening, some of us went back to our host families for dinner, while others went to the seaside to try fresh fish. Afterwards, we travelled back by train together with the Belgian students. It was a really enjoyable day, and we got to see a lot of Bruges while trying some of Belgium's most famous specialities.
