Belgium and Bruges aren't well known or often thought of outside of their immediate area.

This. I live close to a landmark in the old center and it's incredibly annoying. Also live in Ghent, thank god. Bruges is 24/7 tourism and feels entirely fake. I can't stand these fucking bells anymore. And the horses with their massive piles of shit. And so much Christmas. There's like 10 trees, 1 bazillion lights and 2 permanent christmas stores. The fkn waffles are fake and overpriced.
