Belgium canal city of Bruges hits 'red line' with tourist crowds
Inhabitants of Belgium's cobblestone-and-canal city of Bruges are clear: Summertime tourism has hit capacity.
"It's really reached a red line now," says one, 55-year-old architect Arnout Goegebuer, as he sits inside a cafe, peering out a window across a packed outside terrace.
"We don't need more tourists anymore, it's enough - maybe a little bit less" is needed, he says.
