The history of Bruges begins around 2000 years ago. The name Bruges comes from the Old Norse "Bryggja" which means landing stage, and it has appeared on documents and coins since the middle of the ninth century. Bruges has a long tradition of international port activity, so in the Middle Ages it was possible for Bruges to become the most important trade centre of north-west Europe. Flanders was then one of the most urbanised areas in Europe. Flemish cloth, a high quality woollen material, was exported to the whole of Europe from Bruges.
The current city boundaries still coincide exactly with those of the medieval city centre, and the spaces and structures that were so typical of Bruges in the past have been preserved. That is why the historic city centre of Bruge has been added to the Unesco’s World Heritage List.

Bruge is also known as a romantic city because its canals and antique buildings. Some people says it is the Venice from north Europe, but I have to admit Ghent and Bruge are quite similar and I could not chose one as my favourite. Besides, I do not have been in Venice but I suppose there is no comparative as I think Venice has much more canals, hasn't it?
I went to Bruge first weekend when I arrived to Belgium. Because of the romantic feeling, I was inspired by this preppy outfit and the dress I bough in Paris last St.Valentine. It was perfect for boating through the canals and walking through those beautiful streets while eating some Belgian chocolates.

So, when I have seen this "preppy contribution" for hypeed I have not hesitated to contribute in. If you like, I would really appreciate if you vote me!! :)
