Hopefully you check back here since your ...Hi Sara! Hopefully you check back here since your email isn't attached to your profile. :(<br /><br />We LOVED Bruges....loved, loved, loved it. It's very quiet, not much to do but wander the streets and just experience life in that little town of canals. We only stopped in Gent for an afternoon, and it was just a larger, louder, covered with people version. We also stayed a night or two in Brussels, and it was mostly just a bustling city. <br /><br />The IC train is easy between the 3 cities. I guess it mostly just depends on what kind of environment you're drawn to. We like to have a mix of cosmopolitan city and small quaint village when we travel. So depending on your other stops, that make impact your choice in Belgium. <br /><br />Again, not much to 'do' in Bruges, but it really is so completely unique!<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br />xo.

We're staying in Bruges for 5 days (with day trips to Ghent and Ypres), Brussels for a day, and Paris for 3 days. I did have a question though - in your opinion, is Ghent worth a day trip, or would our time be better spent enjoying an extra day in Bruges? Thanks, and welcome home!Kaylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07261197928056699395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638863761357353400.post-84173374139486575992011-05-11T10:51:38.732-05:002011-05-11T10:51:38.732-05:00Love all the lavender in that room, gorgeous!
