Lovely place, nice buildings but completely crowded. Lots of restaurants but avoid eating there, not quality food but feel free to to drink some beers. Fries from the trailers parked in the square are highly recommended.

Very interesting to visit and loved all the shops. I would recommend sitting out with a drink and watching the world go by, but eat dinner where the locals go. The food is generally better as are the prices.

The Markt is completely overrated! It was so busy and unpleasent as there was not only a overflow of tourists but also a lot of traffic and horse carts! I expected so much more of Bruges.
