A couple of questions for the peeps in Belgium:
1. Does anyone know a cheap/good hotel in the citycenter of Brugge?
2. What are the must-sees?
3. What about parking?
thanx already!

Ah, so you can skip the Dolfinarium
When the weather is fine, de Brugse Reien are really a nice boattrip to make.
The Vlaamse Primitieven are a must see, Begijnhof and Minnewater are nice spots for a walk. We had a hotel near the Minnewater. Nice neighborhood.
Check Cactus and MaZ for a nice concert
Small bars and café dansants are at the Eiermarkt for example.

Bruges? Run away man, before it's too late! 
in dub we trust
I went to Brugges on holiday a couple of years ago.
I got a good deal on the Ibis Hotel in the centre of town - they have periodic offiers - I think I got 4 nights for the price of 3 with breakfast thrown in.
Must sees
1/ Brugges ice-cream parlours - ice cream & alcohol and waffles
2/ A walk up to the top of the bell tower
3/ The Brugges Zot brewery tour - stop for lunch in the restaurant there as well. It is one of the cheaper places in town and is good.
4/ There is a tourist map with a walk on it - if you follow that you will see most of the prettiest parts of the town - canals, locks and windmills. It takes the best part of a day if you go at a leisurely pace.
5/ boat trip
6/ I didn't see the art gallery & tapesteries because they were closed for refurbishment.
The centre of Brugges is no more than a square mile or so, so it isn't all that big. Quasimodo tours offer bus trips further afield to WW1 battlefields or the countryside.

my mistake, it was Jordan Prentice in this, not Peter Dinklage
