In Bruges

Bruges, located in the Flemish region of Belgium and popularly known as ‘the Venice of the North’, is one of the most glorious European canal cities on our package tours to europe. The capital of the Belgian province of West-Flanders, Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage city since the year 2000, and is one of the gems of Europe with its stunning medieval architecture. No other country has preserved its beautiful past as Bruges has, with buildings like the Church of Our Lady, the world's highest brick tower at 122.3 meters and the sculpture Madonna and Child, Michelangelo's only sculpture to have left Italy. A small visit to the city isn’t enough, as once you are here the city will intoxicate you with so much history that you’ll find it impossible to even think of moving out of the city limits. Some other must see tourists destinations are the béguinage, The Basilica of the Holy Blood, The Groeningemuseum, The city hall, Onze Lieve Vrouwkerk Choco-Story Museum, Diamond Museum etc.
