City: Bruges (Brugge)

Bruges is a fairytale city that seems frozen in time. The capital of West Flanders is a labyrinth of winding canals, cobbled streets and Gothic brick architecture that evokes its glorious medieval past. As one of the most important commercial and cultural centers in northern Europe in its time, its historic center, declared a World Heritage Site, is an open-air museum. From the reflection of its stepped facades in the water to the sound of carriages and the smell of chocolate, Bruges offers an immersive, romantic and unforgettable experience.
