What do people like (and dislike) about Bruges?

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Bruges, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads generally like living in Bruges, for its picturesque scenery, rich history, and well-preserved medieval architecture. They appreciate the city's walkability, efficient public transportation, and the availability of bike lanes, which make it easy to explore the city. The quality of life in Bruges is high, with excellent healthcare, education, and safety. The city also offers a vibrant cultural scene, with numerous museums, galleries, and events throughout the year. Moreover, expats and digital nomads enjoy the friendly and welcoming nature of the local people, who often speak English fluently, making it easier for foreigners to communicate and integrate into the community. The food and beer culture in Belgium is also a big draw, with a wide variety of delicious local dishes and world-renowned beers to sample. However, there are some aspects of living in Bruges that expats and digital nomads may dislike. The cost of living can be relatively high, particularly when it comes to housing and dining out. The weather in Bruges can be unpredictable, with frequent rain and grey skies, which may be a downside for those who prefer sunnier climates. Additionally, the city can become quite crowded with tourists, particularly during the peak summer months, which may detract from the charm and tranquility of the city. Some expats and digital nomads may also find the job market in Bruges to be somewhat limited, particularly for those who do not speak Dutch or French. Finally, while the city offers a lot in terms of culture and history, some may find it too small or quiet for their tastes, especially when compared to larger cities like Brussels or Antwerp," said another in Bruges, Belgium.
