If you’ve ever dreamed of walking through a medieval painting, Bruges is your dream come true. Cobblestone lanes, winding canals, colorful market squares, and dreamy brick houses — Bruges feels untouched by time.
It's one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe and an absolute must-see for romantics, history buffs, photographers, and chocolate lovers.
Market Square (Markt)
The beating heart of Bruges, surrounded by colorful guild houses and the iconic Belfry Tower. Climb the 366 steps for breathtaking city views!
Belfry of Bruges
A medieval bell tower that has stood since the 13th century. If it looks familiar, it starred in the movie "In Bruges"!
The Canals ("Venice of the North")
Take a boat tour to see Bruges from its most enchanting angle — drifting under stone bridges and past secret gardens.
The Beguinage (Begijnhof)
A peaceful courtyard and UNESCO site where women led a semi-religious life in the Middle Ages. In spring, it's a sea of daffodils.
Church of Our Lady
Home to Michelangelo’s Madonna and Child — the only one of his sculptures to leave Italy during his lifetime.
Belgian Chocolate Shops
Bruges is packed with artisan chocolatiers. Try The Chocolate Line, Choco-Story Museum, or just follow your nose.
Flemish Stew (Stoofvlees)
Slow-cooked beef in Belgian beer, usually served with frites.
Waffles and Frites
Same unbeatable treats as Brussels — but somehow even better eaten along a quiet Bruges canal!
Beer Heaven
Visit De Halve Maan Brewery for a brewery tour and a cold Brugse Zot beer straight from the source.
Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride
Ride through the cobbled streets just like in medieval times — a very Bruges thing to do.
Groeningemuseum
See stunning Flemish Primitive paintings from the 15th century.
The Windmills
A scenic walk along the eastern edge of the old town takes you past historic windmills still standing tall.

Language: Dutch (Flemish), but English is widely understood.
Getting There: Only about 1 hour by train from Brussels! Easy for a day trip or a peaceful overnight stay.
