Photo Essay: Why You Should Visit Bruges

Visit another UNESCO cultural heritage site! You'll find a beautifully preserved medieval city in Bruges — and there's plenty to see, eat, shop, and explore! Stop by the Belfry for a bird's eye view of the city, grab some Belgian waffles and fries, pop in chocolate shops and cafes, hop in a boat and tour the city via canal, and enjoy the churches and art galleries. And don't forget, just get lost in the city amidst the winding, small alleys.

Here are just a few reasons why you should take a trip to Bruges:

Markt

Medieval Architecture

Waffles

Canals 

Windmills 

Belgian Fries with Mayonnaise

Note: This is by no means an exhaustive list. Be sure to check out the Belfry, Groeningemuseum, Church of Our Lady, De Haalve Maan Brewery, and Kruispoort, just to name a few, as well!
