Notes on Bruges
I found WikiTravel to be a valuable tool when it came to catching a train to Bruges. Check out that section of their article here.
Note on train travel: If you travel on the weekend in the summer you may receive a discount.
To Do
Climb the Belfry
I wouldn't recommend a boat tour. Just not worth it in my opinion.To Eat
Blackbird - while I wouldn't consider this place fancy. It wasn't the serving the hearty/filling food we were looking for. Lunch consisted of eggs and bread
't Gezelleke - we weren't able to catch this place open, but all the reviews claim it is good. I believe it.
Cafe Vlissinghe - Ample seating (you just don't realize it) and a wonderfully old atmosphere. The food was good and the service was friendly. Traditional belgian food with some Italian dishes.
