Historical Center Bruges enchants visitors with medieval magic at every turn. The UNESCO-listed Gothic architecture and winding canals create a fairytale backdrop for your adventures. Take a dreamy boat ride through the "Venice of the North" before exploring the towering Belfry or admiring Michelangelo's Madonna in the Church of Our Lady.

The Markt square buzzes with energy while the peaceful Minnewater "Lake of Love" offers a romantic escape from the crowds. Traditional Flemish taverns serve up hearty stews and local beers in buildings older than your great-grandparents' grandparents.
