Belgium
Don’t miss a trip to the Half Moon brewery in the centre where you can take a tour and learn of the traditional brewing methods.
There are quite a few very steep steps so take the tour before sampling the beer but the added bonus is the fantastic panoramic view of the city from the rooftop. Included in the modest price (around €4) is a glass of the wonderful Zot beer. There is also a good café/bar. A Votre Santé!
I enjoyed this audio tour of Bruges. It tells you about the history of the city and shows you how the building styles developed. But it also shows you some really intriguing things, like how Louis de Gruuthuse had his motto put up in both French and Flemish so everyone could read it, whichever language they spoke.
