Towering and majestic, this grand church is a feast for the eyes—from its commanding Neo-Romanesque façade and peaceful gardens to the treasure-filled interior museum. It’s the kind of place that begs a return visit to explore its exquisite interior etched in an historical and spiritual ambiance.

    Next, let Rosary Quay steal your breath. Arguably the most enchanting corner of the city, this postcard-worthy quay, framed by drooping willows and mirrored buildings, earned Bruges its title as the "Venice of the North."

    From there, dive into the animated energy of Market Square. This buzzing hub of Bruges brims with open-air markets, charming cafés, and romantic horse-drawn carriages. Dominating the scene is the legendary Belfry of Bruges—a medieval sentinel that once watched over the city’s booming cloth trade. Nearby, the neo-Gothic Provincial Palace and the cutting-edge Medieval Museum offer a spectacular mix of history and high-tech wonder.
