Bruges - Duvelorium

Bruges already had its city charter in 1128 and was a very important member of the Hanseatic League. It was the prospering center of the Flemish cloth industry.

Between 1200 and 1500 Bruges had a kind of "Golden Era". Bruges was a leading European business community.

Center of the historic city of Bruges is the "Grote Markt" lined by impressive buildings, like this one. It houses an exhibition "Historium Bruges", that I found not that interesting.

Part of the "Historium" is the "Duvelorium Grand Beer Café"
(quoting the website) "the only real Duvel café in the world".

It is a real treat and delight to try the different beers (of course all from the Duvel Brewery) while sitting on the panoramic terrace - and "watching the wheels..."

If you visit Bruges, it is worth to climb up the stairs..
