Bruges, a medieval city where classic and nature blend

Romantic fragments of Bruges 🧩

Who says Belgium has left Bruges only for tourists?
Tourists actually crowd just one bustling souvenir street 🛍️
But I love wandering through the winding alleys,
gently surrounded by medieval architecture,
enjoying this quiet moment without a soul 🍃

✨Must-see hidden gems in Bruges:
▪️ Minnewaterpark (Lake of Love)
Address: Minnewater, 8000 Brugge
Known as "the green lung of Bruges,"
the lake where swans play reflects the Gothic buildings—
truly a fairy tale come to life 🦢

▪️ Rozenhoedkaai (Rose Garden Quay)
Address: Dijver, 8000 Brugge
Classic filming location of the movie "In Bruges,"
a perfect combo of canals + medieval architecture,
every snapshot looks like a postcard 📸

▪️ Belfry of Bruges
Address: Markt 7, 8000 Brugge
You need to climb 366 steps,
but the top offers a panoramic view of the entire fairy-tale town—
worth it! 🏰

Here you can see not only:
✔️ Well-preserved medieval buildings
✔️ A winding canal network running through the city
✔️ Flower-filled window sills carefully tended by every household
It really feels like stepping back into a European storybook town—
no... it’s like living inside a medieval oil painting 🎨

💡Travel tips:
▪️ Recommend getting up early to avoid crowds
▪️ Definitely take a canal boat tour (about 10 euros)
▪️ Try the local handmade chocolate shops
▪️ Rainy days add even more medieval atmosphere!
