🇧🇪Belgium·Bruges｜The most perfect fairytale medieval city

#EuropeanTravel When you think of Belgium, you think of chocolate, beer, and comics, right? But! Bruges, also known as the ‘Venice of the North’, is a real hidden medieval gem. This city, where a fairytale scene unfolds with every step you take, makes you exclaim “Wow…” every time you take a picture! ⭐ Top 8 Must-Visit Bruges Attractions 1. Market Square (Markt) Your Bruges trip starts here! Colorful Gothic buildings, outdoor cafes, and the towering Belfort— This is the real center where medieval merchants and citizens gathered. Tip: 366 steps up the Belfort! The view is crazy. A must-take photo! 2. Belfort (Belfort van Brugge) The sound of the bells ringing from the 83-meter brick bell tower is the heart of the city! Did you know that the giant manual carillon is played live? As you go up each level, you feel like you’re slipping back in time~ 3. Basilica of the Holy Blood (Heilig-Bloedbasiliek) A cathedral with the ‘Holy Blood’ relic brought from Jerusalem. Romanesque + Gothic architecture, stained glass… The air feels different the moment you enter. 4. Minnewaterpark The ultimate romantic experience! A lake with floating swans, a pretty bridge, and a legendary love story— It’s great for taking pictures, and it’s the best place to just sit on a bench and stare blankly! 5. Canals of Bruges The real fairy tale starts here! Take a cruise and see medieval brick buildings from the water. Sunlight, waves, reflections… This is just a painting. 6. Chocolate Story Museum (Choco-Story Brugge) Attention chocolate enthusiasts! From the history of cacao to handmade chocolate demonstrations! Tasting is also available! Recharge after eating melt-in-your-mouth Belgian chocolate~ 7. Bruges City Hall (Stadhuis van Brugge) It's a 14th-century building, but the interior is absolutely gorgeous. Golden Gothic Hall + stained glass = the essence of Bruges politics + art! 8. Beguinage (Begijnhof) A quiet and peaceful atmosphere. White walls, black-framed houses surround the garden, and it's a meditation space where nuns still live. A precious place where you can look into the independent lives of medieval women. Brugge travel tips! • Is one day enough? In fact, it's a city so beautiful that one day isn't enough. I recommend a leisurely half day to one night! • Transportation? Bruges is a small city, so you can tour it on foot! Be sure to take a cruise! What are the best photo spots? Markt Square Belfry, on the canal bridge, in front of Lake Minnewer—all of them are great photo spots~
