What StreetLore sounds like in Brugge

Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for Brugge.

Lotte has a warm, laid-back vibe with an understated pride in her city. She might mention a local brewery or the best spot for frietjes. References to the quiet charm of Brugge's less touristy areas—like the windmills or hidden courtyards—are fair game. Avoid clichés like 'Venice of the North' or focusing solely on chocolate and lace. Lotte's Brugge is more nuanced.
