An UNESCO Heritage Site, the Historic Centre of Brugge is an outstanding example of an architectural ensemble, illustrating significant stages in the commercial and cultural fields in medieval Europe.

Brugge in medieval times was known as a commercial metropolis in the heart of Europe.

The city reflects a considerable exchange of influences on the development of art and architecture, particularly in brick Gothic, which is characteristic of northern Europe and the Baltic. This architecture strongly determines the character of the historic center of the city.
The 1th-century city walls marked the boundaries of the medieval city.

Although the walls themselves are lost today, they remain clearly visible, emphasized by the four surviving gates, the ramparts and one of the defense water towers. The medieval street pattern, with main roads leading towards the important public squares, has mostly been preserved, as well as the network of canals which, once used for mercantile traffic, played an important role in the development of the city.

The historic center of Brugge is home to many attractions and activities. If you choose to visit, you will be able to see and do plenty of things in order to get a glimpse of its historical past and get to know the identity that shaped the city to what it is today.

Going to Bruges is a beautiful and joyful journey.
