Known as the "Venice of the North", Bruges is a city that takes you back to the 14th century with its beautiful canals, horse drawn carriages, and medieval architecture.  Bruges has long been on my list of weekend trips since our move to Germany.  With it being only a short, 4 hour drive away, I knew we had to spend some time in this romantic city.

Hotel Jan Brito has been of my favorite spaces in Europe that we've stayed in.  The hotel embraced the history of Bruges while maintaining a modern, comfortable space for today's travelers.  I cannot stress enough how wonderful it is staying in a space that reflects the city you are visiting.
