<p>Bruges can charm you at any time of the year. However, it is worth remembering that <strong>it is extremely crowded here, especially in summer and December</strong> . The fewest tourists visit Bruges in early spring and late autumn. </p><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/belgia/brugia/brugia-1.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Bruges" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Bruges, Belgium - © Brate</figcaption></figure>

When to visit Bruges?

<p>The historic center of Bruges can be easily <strong>explored on foot</strong> . Allow one day to explore the city.</p><h3> Belfort City Tower </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/belgia/brugia/brugia-10.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Bruges" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Belfort, Bruges, Belgium - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> It is worth starting your visit to Bruges by <strong>climbing the narrow stairs to the top of the Belfort city tower.</strong> From the observation deck of the 12th-century building, which serves as both a guard tower and a bell tower, <strong>there is a picturesque panorama</strong> of the historic part of the city. The tower is located on the Main Square (Grote Markt). There are often long queues in front of ticket offices, so it is worth getting here early in the morning.</p><h3> Market Square Burg </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/belgia/brugia/brugia-5.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Bruges" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Bruges, Belgium - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> Next to the Market Square, the second most important square in the historic part of the city. The most impressive buildings on the Burg are <strong>the town hall (Stadhuis),</strong> whose façade is decorated with figures of Flemish count families, and <strong>the Gothic Basilica of the Holy Blood.</strong> A vial with drops of Jesus&#39; blood is kept in a silver tabernacle located in the church&#39;s chapel. The relic is presented to the faithful once a year during a solemn procession on Ascension Day.</p><h3> Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/belgia/brugia/brugia-onze-lieve-vrouwekerk.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk Brugge" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, Bruges, Belgium - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The construction of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk church took three centuries. The temple represents several architectural styles and boasts the second tallest brick tower in the world (122.3 m). The most valuable sculpture inside is <strong>the figure</strong> <strong><em>of the Madonna of Bruges</em></strong> <strong>by Michelangelo</strong> . The work dates back to 1504 and is one of the few works of the master that can be admired outside Italy.</p><h3> Beguinage </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/belgia/brugia/brugia-begijnhof.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Begijnhof Bruges" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Begijnhof, Bruges, Belgium - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> Begijnhof is a place where beguines, i.e. members of a religious community resembling a nun, lived in the Middle Ages. The Bruges Beguinage was built in the 13th century and consists of <strong>a complex of identical stone buildings centered around a green courtyard.</strong> Nearby there is the charming Lake of Love and the Lovers&#39; Bridge.</p><h3> Groeninge Museum</h3><p> A visit to the Groeninge Museum is a great idea to take a break from the crowds wandering the streets of the old town. Inside you can admire, among others: <strong>works of Flemish primitivists</strong> such as Jan van Eyck, Hugo van der Goes and Gerard David.</p>

What to see in Bruges?

<p>Bruges does not need to be advertised - it is <strong>one of the most visited Belgian towns.</strong> Ever since she played the lead role in the black comedy &quot; <a href="https://www.filmweb.pl/Najpierw.Strzelaj.Potem.Zwiedzaj">Shoot First, Then Explore</a> &quot; with Colin Farrell, she has been experiencing a real tourist siege. </p><div id="attachment_75671" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 500px;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-75671" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/belgia/brugia/brugia.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="bruges" width="500" height="333"><p class="caption"> Bruges, Belgium - © Brate</p></div><p> Despite the crowds in the narrow, cobbled streets, it is difficult to resist the candy charm of &quot;Flemish <a href="https://brate.com/europe/italy/venice/">Venice</a> &quot;. The medieval old town interspersed with threads, stone bridges and colorful facades of houses create a truly fairy-tale atmosphere, making Bruges a perfect destination for a romantic getaway for two.</p><h2> For whom?</h2><p> Bruges will appeal to everyone who likes <strong>to visit charming medieval towns.</strong></p>

The hotel is located in a quiet street near the market square. Tasty breakfast and nice service. Unfortunately, very small rooms, but if you spend most of the day sightseeing, it&#39;s really not a big minus.

A cozy hotel in a historic tenement house. Very atmospheric decor of the room where breakfast is served. There is a garden at guests&#39; disposal. 10 minutes walk to the old town. It is worth booking even for more than one day.
