The West Flanders region
Flanders or more specifically West Flanders, where Bruges is located, is the westernmost province of the Flemish Region, also named Flanders, in Belgium. It borders (clockwise from the North) on the Netherlands, the Flemish province of East Flanders (Oost-Vlaanderen) and the Walloon province of Hainaut (Henegouwen) in Belgium, on France, and the North Sea. Its capital is Bruges (Brugge). It has an area of 3,125 km² which is divided into eight administrative districts (arrondissementen) containing 64 municipalities.
The whole Belgian North Sea coast, an important tourism destination, lies in West Flanders. A tram line runs the length of the coast, from De Panne on the French border, via the port of Ostend (Oostende), to Knokke-Heist on the Dutch frontier.
The climate is similar to most Western European maritime locations, where you can enjoy beautifully warm sunny days on the beach in summer to the sprinkling of snow during the coldest winter snaps.
West Flanders is also a historic wartime memorial. During World War 1 the major battles surrounding Ypres dominated the countryside. These battles are remembered throughout the region, none more so than at the Menin Gate, where the last post is played every evening, without fail, to remember those fallen.

Bruges area
The City of Bruges is famous for its architecture, historic culture and of course beer.
Bruges has most of its medieval architecture intact. The historic centre of Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.
Many of its medieval buildings are notable, including the Church of Our Lady, whose brick spire — at 122m — makes it one of the world's highest brick towers/buildings. The sculpture Madonna and Child, which can be seen in the transept, is believed to be Michelangelo's only sculpture to have left Italy within his lifetime. Bruges is also famous for its 13th-century Belfry, housing a municipal Carillon comprising 47 bells. The city still employs a full-time bell ringer, who puts on regular free concerts. Other famous buildings in Bruges include:
The Beguinage The Basilica of the Holy Blood (Heilig-Bloedbasiliek). The relic of the Holy Blood, which was brought to the city during the First Crusade, is paraded every year through the streets of the city. More than 1,600 inhabitants take part in this mile-long religious procession, many dressed as medieval knights or crusaders. The modern Concertgebouw ("Concert Building") The Old St-John's Hospital The Saint-Salvator Cathedral The Groeningemuseum The City Hall on the Burg square The Provincial Court (Provinciaal Hof) The preserved old city gateways: the Kruispoort, the Gentpoort, the Smedenpoort and the Ezelpoort. The Dampoort, the Katelijnepoort and the Boeveriepoort are gone. Bruges also has a very fine collection of medieval and early modern art, including the world-famous collection of Flemish Primitives. Various masters, such as Hans Memling and Jan van Eyck, lived and worked in Bruges.
Taking a tour of Bruges in a horse drawn carriage is a must for any first time visitors. The same can be said for a tour of one of the famous breweries, located within the centre of the city.
Outside the city walls cycling is a popular past-time with many locals and tourists taking day trips around the pleasant canals and slightly further afield into Holland.
