Visit Bruges
The splendid medieval city of Bruges is one of Belgium's crown jewels and is known as 'the Venice of the North'. In no other European city does the feel and look of medieval times resonate as much as here. Virtually unchanged since the 13th Century, Bruges is romantic and historic, fascinating everyone who sets foot in the city.
The main shopping areas are Steenstraat and Noordzanstraat, and street markets are held in the Burg Square and the Zand Square. A stroll through the narrow, cobbled streets is an enchanting experience and visitors can also enjoy one of the many confectionaries to sample the Belgian chocolates, famed across the world.
At night , Bruges is simply magical so enjoy the city lit up against the moonlit sky as you walk its quaint districts.
