VENUE
Bruges, often called the “Venice of the North,” is a fairy-tale city in Belgium that enchants visitors with its medieval charm and romantic canals. Its cobblestone streets and picturesque squares are lined with centuries-old buildings, creating an ambiance straight out of a storybook. The iconic Belfry of Bruges offers panoramic views of the city, while a boat ride along the serene canals reveals its hidden gems. Bruges is a paradise for chocolate lovers, boasting artisan chocolatiers and delightful waffle shops at every turn.
History comes alive in the Groeningemuseum, showcasing Flemish masterpieces, and in the serene Beguinage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Markt square buzzes with life, offering cozy cafes and horse-drawn carriages. Nightfall brings a magical glow to the illuminated bridges and waterways.
Easily walkable and rich in history, Bruges promises an unforgettable escape into Europe’s past. It’s a city that captivates your heart and lingers in your memories.
