Good guide but irritating maps (2/2 people found this helpful)
The information in this book is fairly comprehensive, but it has both serious and minor flaws. On the minor front,an example is one company lauded for its dinner tours no longer seems to cover Bruges so the information is out of date or just wrong. On the major front, the city maps have no street index and so are of very little use and the map of restaurants gives numbers to restaurants which are neither alphabetically listed nor area-based so relating number to restaurant is needlessly tricky.
Altogether an adequate guide book for an introduction to the city but not enough to rely on to get around without extra materials.
Excellent, clear, comprehensive (45/46 people found this helpful)
Excellent guide for those looking for a book that concentrates on Bruges. Many other guides seem to mention Bruges only briefly, concentrating on Brussels or trying to cover other cities such as Antwerp and Ghent.
The guide divides the city into sectors, making identification of suitable accomodation and places to eat quite easy. Excellent routes given for varied and interesting walks. Good, concise history section.
Major plus point for us was the inclusion of wheelchair accessibility - clear notes on accessible hotels, bars, restaurants, shops etc. Many guides just give a phone number to call for more info - this guide does a great job of actually providing useful info itself.
Ideal if you're staying in Bruges and don't want / need to know about the other cities. Highly recommended.
