It’s a versatile place and feels okay to visit. You do get the chance to try freshly made fries, which is nice. Not exactly a must-visit, but worth checking out if you have some free time.

You can get some cute picture...

I'd highly recommend this museum as a must-do when in Bruges! It takes 1- 1.5 hours to comfortably cover the entire museum. My family and I loved it! We bought our tickets in advance and there was a short queue when we arrived that moved fast. We were cleared and gained entrance in less than 5 mins. If you speak English, French or Dutch, you can make it through without the audio guide. There's ...
