Five things to see/do in Bruges: The central part of Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and offers a variety of beautifully preserved Medieval architecture that makes wandering around the center a pleasure in itself.
Three of Bruges’ famous historic landmarks are located on the visually stunning central square – the Grote Markt. The Bellfry Tower, the Cloth Hall, and the Provincial Court are all worth checking out.
For those who are willing to climb the 98 meters (300 feet) to the top of the Bruges Belfry Tower, the view is quite rewarding.
Take a canal tour to marvel up-close at the beauty of Bruges’ architectural gems, some of which you wouldn’t be able to see if you were just walking around.
Stop by the Basilica of the Holy Blood, which is said to contain a sample of the blood of Jesus Christ. If you’re around in the Spring, you can attend the “Holy Blood Procession” on Ascension Day.
