This network of canals has earned Bruges the nickname "Venice of the North" in Europe and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.The scene is characterized by historic architecture, featuring medieval and Renaissance buildings with step-gabled facades. These merchant houses and warehouses stand tall along a quaint cobblestone street, and charming bridges connect the pathways over the canals. Notable landmarks such as the Belfry of Bruges, the Groeningemuseum, and the Church of Our Lady (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk), which houses Michelangelo's Madonna and Child, are part of this scenic cityscape.Boat tours navigate the romantic canals of this medieval town, offering views of the stepped-gable houses with triangular gables and their colorful facades.
