- It was between Bruges and Ghent that a German turbo shot down a British bomber carrying a superbomb intended for German soil.
- Bruges, a Terran city-state in Western Europe, as well as a historic and commercial port city in the Netherlands, is a member state of the Four-City Alliance. Although the city is primarily composed of a human population, the Bruges underworld is dominated by the Methuselah clan of Gie de Grandville, Count of Bruges.

- Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium.
- BRUGES IS ON TEH MOON!!... Wait, what?... I said slightly twisted facts...Ok, Bruges used to be near the sea, and we all know it will be near the sea again (with all that global warming going on) so just remember this: Bruges is near the sea. It will eventually become the Venice of Belgium, but that's not until april 12, 2032, so just forget that for now. Bruges is a mere 44 km from Ghent to the southeast and 145km from Brussels, and, it's just 385000 km from the moon. The neighbouring villages are: Waffle Ville, Sprouttown, Tinkle Town, and New Seattle.
- Bruges is a fascinating tourist city in Flanders. The city lies along the banks of a number of canals, forming an oval shape inside a medieval wall. Four gates, belonging to this ancient wall, dating back to 1326, are still intact. Bruges has conserved its Gothic and Pre-Renaissance character, which it acquired in the 13th and 14th century, when the city was one of the most important commercial and financial areas in the world. Grand Place forms the centre of the city. This ancient medieval heart of Bruges is the city's historic commercial centre and site of a typical Flemish market square.

- Bruges is a fascinating tourist city in Flanders. The city lies along the banks of a number of canals, forming an oval shape inside a medieval wall. Four gates, belonging to this ancient wall, dating back to 1326, are still intact. Bruges has conserved its Gothic and Pre-Renaissance character, which it acquired in the 13th and 14th century, when the city was one of the most important commercial and financial areas in the world. Grand Place forms the centre of the city. This ancient medieval heart of Bruges is the city's historic commercial centre and site of a typical Flemish market square. Markt is a large open square, practicable only in horse-drawn carriage or on foot. The square is lined by artistic medieval buildings including the Belfort, symbol of the city and site of famous carillon concerts. The beautiful Burg square is located nearby and is linked to Markt via a narrow lane lined with shops selling lace. Burg is the site of the Stadhuis, the Gothic Town Hall, the oldest in Belgium and the Heiligbloed Basiliek, which stands at the south-west corner of the square and which takes its name from the reliquary of the blood of Christ. From Burg, passing through the interesting Blinde Ezelstraat( Blind Mule Street)Gallery, the visitor arrives at the 1821 Vismarkt ( fish market). The Steenhouwersdijk ( Sailor's Way), leads to Groenerei, one of the most famous corners of the city. Huidenvettersplein, located immediately west of Vismarkt, is a fascinating small square surrounded by popular restaurants. This area is the start of Dijver, home to the city's most important museums including the Groeninge, the Arenthuis and the Gruuthuse. The Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk, which houses Michelangelo's Madonna with Child, is located nearby. On the opposite side to this church, in Maraistraat, there is the prestigious Memling Museum, which houses six masterpieces from the German painter Brugge. From the museum it is possible to follow the Sint Katelijnestraat and the Wijngaardplaats, until finally arriving in Begijnhof . This square is linked by means of a hump-backed bridge to the 17th century gatehouse of the monastery. The monastery, one of the oldest in Flanders, a true cornerstone of worship within the city, comprises forty white-walled houses situated around a garden. A group of Benedictine monks still work and pray even today in this oasis of peace and tranquillity. Minnewater, the lake of love, is located south of the monastery Bruges possesses numerous civil and religious buildings of great interest, which have managed to maintain their magnificence, bestowed upon them six hundred years ago. The canals which flow through the city give it a fascinating air, the same air that is derived from walking along the city's cobbled streets. Every angle is different and rich with unusual sights. The city's splendid past is still present in the rich Gothic-Brabantine architecture, the numerous Medieval buildings, the monuments, churches and the various residences of the Duke of Burgundy and the Palace of the Gentlemen of Gruuthuse, which today is a museum, which displays the symbols of the old upper class.
