Bruges is the largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium Bruges belongs to one of the most exciting tourist attractions in Europe. This enchanting city has attractions to suit all types of travllers whether you are looking for a day trip or a short break.

It is located in the northwest of the country and is Belgium’s most popular destination and, despite being overcrowded much of the year, it’s not to be missed. The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It seems to be suspended in time centuries ago in medieval ages. Picturesque market squares, old whitewashed almshouses and dreamy canals all evoke a world long since gone. Bruges has been renovated time and again to retain its medieval appearance. Its reputation as one of the most perfectly preserved cities is in part fabrication.

Besides architecture, sites to see include several museums. First is the Groeninge Museum, with six centuries of paintings from different styles, including works by Jan van Eyck. The Memling museum is also not to be missed, with the wooden Shrine of St. Ursula. Also, the only work of art by Michelangelo to leave Italy during his lifetime, can be seen in the Church of our Lady. The Chapel of the Holy Blood also displays an ampul reputed to contain the blood of Christ.

Of course a visit to Bruges wouldn’t be complete without a canal or carriage ride, cycling a bike along canals, sampling the heavenly chocolates and waffles, shopping for craft work including Bruges famous lace, climbing the belfry, visiting art galleries or testing several of the more than 350 available here Belgian beers including fine monk-made one.
