About Bruges
Located in the Northwest of Belgium, Bruges is one of Europe’s most picturesque and historic cities. Known as “The Venice of The North”, the historic centre of Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the few canal based cities in Northern Europe.
Due to the city surviving both world wars intact, most of Bruges’ medieval architecture is still in pristine condition. If you fancy a wander around Bruges – before or after the festival - the city centre is awash with beautiful architecture, stunning sights, atmospheric pubs, bars, cafes and of course right at the heart of the historic centre, is the Belfry itself where the festival will be held. More information on the city can be found on http://www.brugestourism.co.uk/
*These are 2013 prices, if there are any changes, our contacts at the BAB committee will inform us in due course.
