Bruges is famous for its picturesque townscape of cobbled streets, canals and Renaissance architecture. Bruges was originally built to surround the Burg or castle. Today it is a popular holiday destination packed with history and culture. Church-enthusiasts head here for the amazing array of churches built at various times during the evolution of Bruges.

Places to see while in the city might include the Diamantmuseum (Diamond Museum), the Kantcentrum (Lace Centre) as well as enjoy all the surrounding architecture, which is equally interesting. A good base to begin sightseeing would be that of The Markt and The Burg. To really get a sense of the brilliant atmosphere and scenery of Bruges why not rest your feet and jump into a horse draw carriage as a treat? If not there are boat tours to enjoy also.

If all the sightseeing has given you an appetite for even more local history, you might want to visit the Stedelijk Museum voor Volskunde (the folklore museum).

When choosing accommodation in Bruges, it will be worth your while to pick a small hotel or bed and breakfast to reach a better understanding of the lifestyle of the city.
