Breathtakingly beautiful and steeped in history, Bruges is every bit as magical as the postcards. Filled with picturesque cobblestone streets, dreamy canals, horse-drawn carriages and soaring towers, it’s hard not to be seduced by such fairy-tale surroundings. Declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 2000, the city’s gothic grandeur and history is complemented by its museums, chocolate shops and Michelin star restaurants.
