Ah, Bruges… There’s a reason why it’s Belgium’s #1 tourist destination. Nowhere else will you find such a perfectly preserved medieval city, its cobblestone streets and brick facades seemingly unchanged since the fifteenth century. The entire historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Any visit to Bruges will include the stately Markt square with its formidable Belfort and charming guild houses. Nearby, intimate Burg square is home to some of the most beautiful buildings in Bruges, including the Gothic city hall with its richly sculpted facade. For architecture buffs, Bruges is a treasure trove of historic building styles.
