Bruges has become known as the 'Venice of the North'. This splendid medieval city is one of Belgium's crown jewels; in no other European destination do the ghosts of the medieval past feel as real as they do here in this city close to the North Sea. Book your Bruges city break and enjoy the World Heritage rated city centre which portrays the vibrant history of Belgium for all to see.

Fill your stay with visits to medieval buildings such as the Church of Our Lady and the Basilica of the Holy Blood, whilst you wind your way through the quaint streets, stopping at some of the excellent restaurants and cafes whenever you feel it is time to refuel.

At Christmas time, the Bruges Christmas market will not fail to get you in the festive spirit as you wander from stall to stall captivated by hand-crafted souvenirs and smells that you instantly associate with this time of year.

Grote Markt (market place)

Free from traffic, this place belongs to one of the most attractive parts of the town and hosts the famous Belfry Tower as well as the Cloth Hall.

Basilica of the Holy Blood

This wonderful Gothic church hosts a relic - a vial of blood that is said be that of Jesus. Don't forget to go and see the Romanesque chapel underneath.

Onze Lieve Vrouwkerk

Another beautiful church, which features architecture from Romanesque and Gothic periods. The church also hosts the famous 'Madonna with child' sculpture by Michelangelo.

Diamond Museum

This museum illustrates the history of Bruges as the oldest diamond centre in Europe. Today, diamonds remain one of Belgium's most important export products. The daily demonstration of diamond cutting is a sparkling affair.

Canal Boat Trips

Often called the 'Venice of the North', a boat trip taking in age-old houses and picturesque bridges will be an enjoyable experience.
