Brugges

Hi everyone. During my last day in Europe, I took a trip to Brugges, a city in the northwestern part of Belgium. It is a beautiful city, filled with many of canals and cobblestone streets. I think this might be my favorite place I have visited so far. It was so quiet and peaceful.



















In the center of the old part of town is the Grote Markt ("Big Market") where there are lots of shops and restaurants.





The belfry, a large medieval bell tower, is on this main square.



I went into a medieval church and saw a famous sculpture by Michaelangelo, Madonna and Child.





One thing that I noticed was that people seem to ride bikes much more than they do in the U.S. I saw lots of bikes wherever I went.
