Bruges is filled with World Heritage sites, and three days don't seem enough to explore

Belgium🇧🇪 is definitely a country worth spending time in, and today I recommend the ancient city of Bruges. Bruges has preserved a complete medieval appearance, and the entire historical center has been listed as a World Heritage site. From the carriages crossing the square to the medieval buildings scattered throughout, you will feel as if every turn you make brushes you through the torrents of time, stumbling into another era 🇧🇪Check-in tips: 🔹Belfry 83 meters high, a must-visit landmark 🔹Church of Our Lady Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk 122 meters high, the world's second tallest brick structure church, with Michelangelo's Madonna and Child sculpture as the treasure of the church 🔹Museum Sint-Janshospitaal One of the oldest well-preserved hospital buildings in Europe, it houses masterpieces by Hans Memling, one of the most famous Flemish masters of enlightenment 🔹Apotheek Sint-Janshospitaal Preserves the real interior scene of a 17th-century pharmacy 🔹Groeningemuseum Six centuries of Belgian painting art are concentrated here! You can see works by Flemish enlightenment masters including Jan van Eyck, neoclassical and Flemish expressionist works by Joseph Odevaere, and 20th-century modern art by René Magritte 🔹Gruuthusemuseum Tells the history of Bruges, it was voted the most popular museum in Europe in 2021 🔹Basilica of the Holy Blood Built in the 12th century, it was once the private chapel of the Count of Flanders, Diederik, and houses a cloth claimed to be stained with the Holy Blood of Jesus brought back from the Holy City by the Count 🔹Sint-Salvatorskathedraal Together with the Belfry and the Church of Our Lady, they form the three-point skyline of Bruges, and the treasury inside is free to visit 🔹Begijnhof Ten Wijngaerde The most famous of the 13 Beguinages listed as World Heritage in Belgium 🔹Stadhuis One of the oldest town halls in the Low Countries, built in 1376, this Gothic building also inspired the construction of the town halls in Brussels, Ghent, and Leuven
