Bruges is a fairytale-like ancient city crisscrossed by canals lined with colorful centuries-old buildings and narrow cobblestoned streets, with a sky pierced by dozens of church spires. Start your visit at the Burg Square in the city’s ancient center, with its magnificent 14th-century city hall, the 16th-century Basilica of the Holy Blood, and a 13th-century belfry including an 83-meter-tall tower that will give you incomparable panoramic views of the city. If you come in the spring, you will be enchanted by a sea of yellow daffodils in the gardens of the ancient Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaerde sanctuary. If you are travelling with kids, take them to the Boudewijn Seapark to see the dolphins and to the Choco-Story, a chocolate museum where they can not only learn all about famous Belgian chocolates but taste some as well.
