Bruges (or Brugge in Flemish/Dutch) is one of the more touristy cities in Europe, but it’s also charming and authentic as well. It’s also small, so most people can see most everything of interest in only 2 days or so.
The attractions may not be terribly cheap, but the very helpful Bruges Card is available for free at all the hostels and some budget hotels, and that shaves a couple euros off the prices of most things.
