a fantasy city

I went to Brugge this weekend - and took the exact same pictures as shown above. Same angles, same subjects, on ground level as well as from the Belfort tower.

i went there in 2000 it was very nice 10/10

i was a bit angry with my mum cuz i wanted to go to Brussels instead...back then i was just 11..now i think it was nice anyways to go to Brugge...

...the name in Spanish is funny Brujas...same as Witches

Sorry... but this IS rate the skyline section.
I would give 10 for the city though

Beautiful, and considering its size-
10/10 :)

10/10

Very beautiful!

Really beautiful, in "Rate Our Architecture" it would be 10/10, but in "Rate Our Skylines" only 6/10 (some nice tall historic towers)

Enchanting! 10/10

Sorry, but it's called "Rate Our Skylines", so I vote on skyline. It sucks, I give it a 4/10. :tongue:

Great city. Nice historic buildings! 9/10

For days I have been returning from a trip by the north of Belgium and was three days in Brugge. It was the third time that was there and I hope to return many more times.

My trip

9.5 for architecture and character. The main skyscraper of Belgium is in Brusells, right?

nice, very nice. 8/10

i visted bruges in 2000 (maybe 2001 - can't remember). it's so small but very beautiful, so quaint - and i love the gardens in front of the main train station

i hate it

You already mentioned it. Three times. You must be stupid, ignorant or fucking blind saying Brugge/Bruges is ugly. OK, no scrapers, but buildings don't need to be to be beautiful.

I've never been there but I'm planning to visit very soon. Judging from all the pictures I saw, I think it's a beautiful place...

mmmm.........where is the skyline........

9/10

Brugge is gorgeous! I feel in love with the City when I was there.

this is NOT a skyline
3 or less


I'm afraid you guys are having serious language problems...

Skyline doesn't have to be made of skyscrapers (skyscraperline?)
Gothic church towers sometimes make better skylines than a group of boring boxes.

i've never thought to visit this town when i lived in Lille... and now i live in seville (spain), i've made the trip and i have to recognize that this city in really beautifull. it's a real exemple of flemish city like gent, anvers, brussels and Lille in some ways, with a really "art of life", so quiet, so respectuous... maybe a bit less than Gent lololol. and if you cross the city you can notice some beautifull (little) modern building made during brugge 2002, european capital of culture.

I loved Brugge when I visited. We took the train from Brussels and really enjoyed the city. From there, we went up to Oostend and walked along the sea wall. At the time, that was my first visit to the North Sea!

Been there several times. It's a real beauty from a fairy tale.

9.5/10

There are 3 high towers and several smaller towers in Brugge, the tallest is the cathedral which is 124 meter high. It was built in the middle ages, when New York was still a swamp. Brugge has got an old skyline, but it is a skyline, so 10/10 for the city ànd the skyline.

I've been there a few years ago and this city is so nice and friendly that i would give it a 10, but this is 'rate the skyline' , so i'll give an 8.5 :D i'll hope you like it to

No skyline 5/10

Beautiful city! But not a good skyline... 5

for the skyline:0/10
for the city's beauty:10/10
overall:5/10

9/10- great city, even though it doesn't have a skyline.

Nice individual buildings but skyline wise 5/10

A beautiful city, but not an outstanding skyline. 6/10 for the historic beauties.

for the city's beauty:10/10

It's an ancient skyline, hehehe... ...Brugges(or Brujas, the spanish name)were famous by the faboulous mirrors made from centuries ago. 9/10

too beautiful to describe! I forget about skylines when I see cities like this... !

Wonderfull city! Walking there is as if you are back in time. One of most beautifull cities in Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg).

Tip: Visit the Brewery of Straffe Hendrik.

Old skyline: 10/10
New skyline: nope
My points for Brugge at this forum: 7.5/10 (indeed a city doesn't need skyscrapers for havin' a good skyline)

5/10. Nice architecture, but i vote skyline

The discussion about "the skyline" of Bruges has it's own special history. Bruges used to be one of the most important cities in medieval Europe. Later, at the end of the 19th century, the city was one of the poorest... Afterwards this ment the saving of the medieval architecture in the city. During the industrial revolution, there was simply no money in the city to build big and new buildings and factories. That's the reason why Bruges still looks like a medieval city. Nowadays Bruges is once again a whealthy city, thanks to the new harbour, new industries and ... tourism.

Because of the situation in the second part of the 19th century and in the beginning of the 20th century there are no tall buildings in Bruges beside the medieval churches and now there are building regulations that prohibit new buildings higher than five stories in the inner medieval city. So Bruges will never have a "skyline" as some describe as necessary to compeed in this poll.

Only one exception was made in 2001 with the building of the new concert hall.

I live near Bruges, and if you looking for a skyline with highrise buildings you won't find them in Bruges.
But I believe that they are planning a policetower on the docks, I hope that the policetower is just the beginning of a masterplan for architectural highrise buildings on the docklands in Bruges.

The majour of Bruges said some weeks ago that every highrise building will destroy the charm and skyline of the city (Not true of course).



If you like historical buildings, than you must visit the city.
There are 3 worldfamous landmark towers. You can visit them it's only 5 minutes walking.

There are 3 high towers and several smaller towers in Brugge, the tallest is the cathedral which is 124 meter high. It was built in the middle ages, when New York was still a swamp. Brugge has got an old skyline, but it is a skyline, so 10/10 for the city ànd the skyline.

That is not correct, the tower of the cathedral is 80 meters high. I think you are confusing the cathedral with the tower of the church of Our Dear Lady, wich is 122 m high and the highest in Brugge.

10/10
Old buildings can make a more beautiful skyline than new ones, Brugge is the proof of that.

10/10!!

Another picture I've taken a few days ago.
