Travel tips and recommendations for Brugge

1... Water is a apparently something to be hoarded here. At home when you go to a restaurant you can have as much water as you like and it's free. It is never expected that you buy bottled water. Here even if you pay a decent chunk of money for a nice meal if you ask for tap water instead of bottle water you get one of two options...
Option A.... They stare at you like your nuts and the biggest cheapskate they have ever laid their eyes upon. Then they bring you the tiniest glass of water that is closer to a shot glass than a proper glass of water.
Option B.... They refuse to give you water. They insist you buy the water and charge you twelve bucks. Ghee you would think these people would be thirsty from all the sex they are having and generously pass out water.nope.
   So I recommend being the cheap skate I am, when you walk by grocery marts, they are common. Go in and buy water and carry it on you. Cities can be expensive and paying exhorbant amounts of money to satisfy a basic human need is no fun. 
   2.  Invest in the canal tour.you will not regret it. 
 3. They charge for some public restrooms also. If your really cheap you can wait for the person to exit then frantically run up and hold the door open for them and slyly sneak in saving yourself .50€
4.  The fry museum is entertaining for kids I guess, otherwise I would not recommend it. 
5. Stop by a market and pack a picnic for lunch. You will save yourself a lot of money and can find a beautiful spot to sit and enjoy the city and sights.
