Bruges
If you’ve heard of Bruges, then it's either you’re interested in visiting medieval places, or you’ve seen the acclaimed film “In Bruges” by Martin McDonagh, which gave the city and its attractions a great deal of attention.
It can be said that it’s the sister city of Amsterdam and Venice because of its canals. A popular tourist activity is to explore these waterways by hopping on a boat for a slow, relaxing ride while taking in the sights by the waterfront. On the other hand, visiting well-preserved structures like the Belfry of Bruges and the Old St. John’s Hospital will give you an idea of what medieval Belgium must have been like.
