Bruges


Bell Tower, Markt

Bruges might be one of my favorite European cities. With winding cobblestone roads, narrow canals, and chocolatiers on every block, it makes for the perfect fairytale town. Amidst the grandeur of the Markt, it is easy to imagine its former self, a jousting arena.

Canals, Groenerei

Former Court of Justice, Burg
