No 10: Bored? Not in this bit of Belgium

We continue our series of the top 20 destinations of readers. By ANNA HAGGERTY

Beautiful canals, rich architecture, cobbled streets, Belgium beer, waffles ... and, of course, chocolate. What more could you ask for in a holiday destination?

Bruges - the Venice of the North - is a stunning medieval city and historical trade port in Belgium, the country wrongfully accused of being the most boring in Europe.

Bruges is a quaint city that I often daydream of returning to, having spent a few day trips there from London, it being only around one hour's drive from Calais.

What would I do if I got to return? Well, I would start the morning in a cafe looking out to Burg Square with a warm Belgium waffle.

Then a walk slowly around the cobbled streets, wandering in and out of the pretty lace, tapestry and chocolate shops.

I would go for a ride on a boat around the beautiful canals and waterways, while photographing the historical buildings that almost fall into the water.

After a hearty lunch of Flemish stew, frits (fries), mussels and a few glasses of the finest Belgium beer, I would finish off with a number of divine chocolates of different flavours.

To walk off lunch I would take an interesting and informative brewery tour, walking up a thirst for more of the amber nectar.

After visiting the ancient Belfry and other historical churches, I would finish the day with a relaxing horse-and-cart ride around the city and back to my hotel.

When are you going?
