About Bruges

Bruges is a medieval Flemish city of canals, cobbled squares and brick gables, its historic centre protected as a World Heritage site.

Bruges grew rich in the Middle Ages on the cloth trade and as a port joined to the sea by a channel, until the waterway silted up and left the city almost untouched for centuries. The Markt square is overlooked by the Belfry, whose 366 steps lead up to a carillon and a view across the rooftops. A short walk away, the Burg holds the Gothic city hall and the Basilica of the Holy Blood.

Top-ranked sights in Bruges: Burg Square, Market Square (Markt), Minnewater (Lake of Love).
