Bruges was gorgeous and full of delicious chocolate shops. I did 2 nights and did not feel like it was nearly enough as there were more museums I would like to have explored. I felt very safe.

I loved Brugge. It was one of my sweetest travel memories. I was shopping at a lace shop in the medieval village and stepped outside to newly falling snow. I felt like I was in a dream. It was so beautiful. I recommend climbing the bell tower. Awesome experience.

Bruges is a beautiful city. I would recommend booking a walking tour, most are 'free' but you are expected to tip your guide. Just wandering the streets and exploring the shops easily takes up a whole day. It is a really safe city and most bars are open until 1/2am and it's such a nice vibe walking round at night. I would definitely recommend hiring bikes as well, everyone rides bikes in Bruges! I cycled up to Damme which is a small town about 30 mins up the canal. It is a very flat city so it is easy to cycle. Food/drink recommendations: ODA rooftop bar (great views!), Bar Jus, Bar 'N.

Brugge is stunning. There are so many places to eat local food (Flemish stew and frites is one of the best) the beer museum and bar is lovely for a drink, most of the local bars serve a little snack of cheese or sausage with a beer.
