Fletcher Hotel-Restaurant Burghoeve, oorspronkelijk een boerenhoeve, werd omgetoverd tot een charmant hotel, met alle faciliteiten voor een onbekommerd verblijf. Valkenburg, een van de oudste steden van Nederland, is een veelzijdige en bourgondische stad in Zuid-Limburg dus logeren in een Hotel Valkenburg is een uitstekende garantie voor een supergeslaagde citytrip! Van alle Valkenburg hotels, moet dit zowat het beste zijn waar ik ooit ben geweest!

Kasteel Geulzicht vind je terug in het prachtige Geuldal, op enkele minuten van Maastricht, Valkenburg en Thermae 2000, aan de rand van natuurgebied Ingendael. Dit hotel in Valkenburg is de perfecte plaats voor gasten die sfeer en rust ambiëren. Het à la carte restaurant en de terrassen zijn alleen toegankelijk voor eigen hotelgasten en juist deze beslotenheid in een dergelijke omgeving waarborgt een absolute rust en intimiteit die u op weinig andere plaatsen zult aantreffen. Een van de meest inspirerende hotels Valkenburg!

Other interesting cities closeby

Once you left Bruges, Belgium and Flanders have a lot of other interesting cities in store. You can easily go to Gent, Kortrijk, Antwerp or Brussels for example. Staying in a hotel Gent will here and there remind you of your time in Bruges, mainly because of the fact that the historical city centre is as beautiful as Bruges'. The quality of the Ghent hotels is also comparable to Bruges. The biggest difference when staying in a hotel Gent is that the city is a lot more vibrant and contemporary, mainly due to the presence of over 30.000 students! Spending the night in a hotel Gent will simply leave you speechless. Another famous student town in Flanders is Kortrijk. Anyone who decides to stay in a hotel Kortrijk will quickly notice that this city, although rather small, has lots of interesting features. The best hotels Kortrijk are located in the historic city centre, or in the beautiful outskirts of the city. Off all hotels Kortrijk I once stayed in the Hotel Broel, a very luxurious hotel Kortrijk in the middle of the city!

Of all Flemish cities, there's one that rises above all the others: Antwerp. This city by the river Scheldt is the most vibrant city in Flanders, capital of Fashion, capital of Diamonds, city of one of the biggest European ports, city where "it's happening". Staying in a hotel Antwerpen equals staying in a very modern and refreshing city, full of creativity and entrepreneurship. The best Antwerp hotels are located within walking distance of the best spots such as the Groenplaats, the Meir, the Keyserlei, the Kammenstraat, and so on. Last summer I stayed at the Hotel Rubenshof, a very cosy and charming hotel Antwerpen, located along one of those famous Antwerp boulevards. Next year I'll definitely book a stay in that Antwerp hotel again!

Ik kreeg van een toeristische website de opdracht om op verschillende plaatsen telkens een paar dagen in verschillende hotels te verblijven, om nadien een overzichtje te kunnen makan van mijn wedervaren. En zo gebeurde het, een paar weken geleden startte ik met mijn eerste hotel aan de kust, waar ik een paar dagen zal verblijven, om nadien door te reizen naar Brugge en Gent, en tenslotte te eindigen in Antwerpen en Brussel. Dromen zijn er om waar te maken, en ik ben er dan ook vandaag mee begonnen, meer bepaald in de westelijk uithoek van het land, De Panne. Uit alle hotels in De Panne koos ik er eentje die me op het eerste zicht een modern hotel lijhkt, zeer rustig gelegen en bovendien op nog geen 300 meter van het kilometerlange strand gelegen. Ik kijk al uit naar vannacht en de komende 10 dagen!
Vanochtend verliet ik De Panne en zette ik mijn tocht verder. Vrijwel meteen vond ik eenhotel in Nieuwpoort die aan mijn wensen voldeed, nl. Hotel Cosmopolite, nabij de zee, de pier en de haven en in vergelijking met andere hotels in Nieuwpoort dichtbij de belangrijkste winkelstraat. Deze avond een wandeling langs de jachthaven gemaakt, werkelijk verbluffend!

Citytrip: Bruges.

2008-09-28T21:46:37+02:00

Bruges, a city who has its entire innercity placed in the UNESCO world heritage list. A city with a thousend faces and a history richer than any other city in the world. Bruges is the city where the foundation of modern trade and modern financial markets can be found.

But although Bruges has known a turbulent history it never gave away its charm and peace. Wondering through the alleys or enjoying an evening walk in the "lake of love" park, the experience of Bruges is incredible. One should stay in this city for multiple days so that every aspect of Bruges can be visited.
The hotels in Bruges surely will warmly welcome you. The choice of hotels in the innercity is hugh. Mostly it are small family hotels with a lot of charm and a fantastic breakfast buffet. Many times the smallest hotels offer the greatest luxury.

Bruges is a city which should be visited during wintertime, the wonderful decoration is something Bruges can be very proud for. Every year there is a skating ground on the Main market square in the shadows of the old belfry.

Restaurants in Bruges are omnipresent. Most of the restaurants will serve you a delicious meal at a correct price ( watch out for pricing on the main market square ) Some restaurants you may consider during your stay in Bruges are restaurant aneth, restaurant curiosa and restaurant arthies. You will not be disappointed.

Bruges is in comparison to Brussels much quieter and more charming to visit, and to Antwerp it just hold a lot more history. Many guests in Bruges start from a hotel in Brussels to visit Belgium but they couldn't be more wrong. The European capital Brussels has its charms but is not comparable to Bruges.

As the choice of hotels in Bruges is quite large we will highlight a few here in this blog as i personally visited these hotels. Most hotels in Bruges are easy to book online.

I hope you have a very pleasant stay in the world's capital of the 13th century: Bruges.

Belgium: a country to visit.
