Bruges is one of the most picturesque and preserved medieval cities in Europe, the pearl of the province of West Flanders. The city, which is often called the “Venice of the North”, retains the atmosphere of a trade and craft center of the Middle Ages: narrow cobbled streets, facades of houses decorated with carvings, and leisurely walks along the canals create a feeling of immersion in the history and coziness of a real city-museum.
Bruges man-made sights are striking in diversity: the Belfort bell tower with its steps and views of the city, the historic Town Hall on De Burgh Square and the magnificent Gothic and Baroque churches - St. Salvator's Cathedral, the Church of Our Lady and Notre Dame with a high tower tower towering above the roofs. The main square of Grote Markt, the ancient St. John's Hospital, the city gate of Kruispoort, the English Monastery, as well as numerous sculptures and monuments - all these objects tell about the religious, civil and cultural life of Bruges over the centuries.
Natural and landscaped corners complement the picture of the city: the Ministry of Water Park with the romantic Lake of Love and the surrounding alleys invites you to relax and photos, and the network of canals and embankments turn the city into a quiet place for walks. Green courtyards, small parks and water views create a living contrast with stone architecture and give the opportunity to enjoy the tranquility in the city center.
