Museums - a day in itself. See //www.virtualbruges.com/museums/default. Do a search for Bruges and Hans Memling for this 15th Century painter, a focal point of many art history courses.
At lunch, try the river eel with herbs. Prepare eel yourself, here is a big website with lots of choices - fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=eel. Be prepared to park at a far distance, and then take a little train to town, built just for that.
For an overview of Belgium, and mention of the river eel with herb sauce, see the Expatriate Guide at www.expat-online.com/moving/Belgium/culture/foodandrink. The Expatriate Guides (for people living outside their home countries) are useful as a start in any country.
More on Belgian food: We also found fries served with mayo. Not bad at all. And snails served as street food.
