Bruges is known for being a beautiful fairytale of a destination, but the most charming and historic part of Bruges sits within the loop of the main canal. This is where the most impressive of Bruges’ medieval architecture is clustered, along narrow, cobbled streets, which open out onto grand squares, or tiny parks or bridges.
