Bruges

Medieval Core & Canal Drift
Address – Brugge Centrum, West Flanders
Highlights – We wandered where time seemed folded: cobbled lanes, gabled rooftops, and glassy canals reflecting the spires above. The Belfry called us upward with its 366 steps and echoing bells. Below, chocolate shops lured us off-route at every turn.
Vibe Match – Like Rothenburg meets Giethoorn: fairytale serenity with Flemish precision.
Rating Suggestion – 9.2/10

Begijnhof & Minnewater Park
Address – Begijnhof 30, Bruges
Highlights – Swans glided through still waters as we stepped beneath the white arch into the hushed courtyard of the Beguines. It felt like a breath held for centuries. From there, Minnewater Park wrapped us in willows and whispers a quiet counterpoint to the city’s ornate bustle.
Vibe Match – Like Montmartre meets Regent’s Park: spiritual, soft, and suspended in time.
Rating Suggestion – 8.9/10

Windmills & St. Anna Quarter
Address – Kruisvest, Bruges
Highlights – We traced the city’s edge past stoic windmills and locals on bikes, the quiet northern stretch where Bruges exhales. In the St. Anna Quarter, churches stood silent and still, and we stumbled on tiny cafés where locals shared soup and gossip.
Vibe Match – Like Østerbro meets the backstreets of Siena: unpolished, lived-in, and slow by design.
Rating Suggestion – 8.6/10
