Things to do in Bruges

The Lake of Love in Belgium is very romantic. If you come here in spring, when the flowers are blooming, walking on this bridge will be very exciting. The colors of the houses here are also very good, which will make you feel better.

The Church of the Holy Blood is located in Bob Square, next to the city hall building. The church is small but very famous. It is said that the holy blood of Jesus is stored in it. The exterior walls of the building are dark gray, but the figures on the walls are painted gold, creating a strong contrast.

The Belfort is a medieval bell tower in the heart of Bruges, Belgium, located south of the Market Square. Construction began in 1240, with the main structure completed in stages between the 13th and 15th centuries. Standing 83 meters tall, the tower features a chime system of 47 bells that chime every 15 minutes. Historically, it was used to preserve municipal records and detect fires. During sieges, the bells masked the sound of artillery fire. Visitors can ascend to the summit via 366 narrow steps for panoramic views, with access limited to designated hours. The tower served as a filming location for the 2008 film "In Bruges."

The market square is also very interesting. It was placed here a long time ago. You can still see some local things here. You can also see very interesting shops and commercial streets in this square. It is also a good place to buy small items.

It turns out that this station is called Bruges Nord. This is indeed a building in Bruges. Compared with Brussels, Bruges is indeed more worth visiting. Bruges, located in the northwest of Belgium, is the capital of the Belgian West Flanders Province. It is also a famous cultural city and tourist destination in Belgium. "Bruges" means "bridge" in Flemish. It is named after an ancient Roman bridge on the Lei River that flows through the city. It was one of the largest commercial ports in Europe in the 14th century. There are also teams and people named after it.

I don’t know how many people have actually met the person they fell in love with at first sight on this bridge, but in fact, this bridge is really small, and there is nothing to see. It is also not easy to find, so there is no need to look for it deliberately.

Saint-Salvator Cathedral is the cathedral of Bruges, Flanders, in present-day Belgium. Saint-Salvator Cathedral was not originally built to be a cathedral. It was granted status in the 19th century. Since the 10th century, Saint-Salvator was a regular parish church. In 1839, the roof of the cathedral collapsed in a fire. The tall tower was built on the oldest surviving part of the church, which dates from the 12th century. After its completion, a small peak was added to the top of the tower because the original design was considered too flat. The Neo-Romanesque west tower is 99 meters high and is a fortress-like building.

📍The Beguinage on the edge of the Lake of Love Park, through a small door, the monastery is inside the wall. When you enter this area, you can't help but want to lighten your steps and speak softly. The entire monastery area is very, very quiet, you can hear the sound of horse hooves and birds singing. 🌟The Beguinage is the largest monastery in Belgium and one of the three world heritage sites in Bruges. It has white walls and red tiles, lush vegetation, and is very simple and quiet. 🌟Just come to feel the atmosphere, there is no special place to visit, you can stroll around leisurely~

Compared to the busy and dirty capital Brussels, rural towns in Belgium are more worth visiting! This time, we chose Gent as our main destination and visited several cities radially. Most of the train rides take 30-60 minutes. In late June and early June in Western Europe, the sun doesn't set until about 8 or 9 pm, and sometimes it's almost dark at 10 pm. Traveling at this time is very comfortable, and you can avoid the summer vacation crowds and have fun until you go home
