Bruges is known as the “Venice of the North” due to its extensive canal system.

Canals everywhere!

Canals…

The canals lead to a serene lake.

During Medieval Times, widows of the Crusades lived in areas like this, called

the Beguinage.

Reminders of the Crusades and Saints abound in Bruges.

This castle is actually a Bed and Breakfast in Bruges!

Handmade lace is a specialty of Bruges.

Chocolate is also a specialty of Belgium
