Bruges is a Hanseatic city called Flemish Venice located in north-western Belgium, in the province of West Flanders. The city is known for a network of canals with rows of historic stone houses built just by them. Visitors to Bruges should also go to one of the atmospheric pubs that serve real ales from local breweries. Chocolate is another regional delicacy and it not only has its own museum in Bruges, but also the festival, which attracts manufacturers of sweets who encourage tourists to tasting or shopping.
