Bruges Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Bruges ("Brugge" in Flemish) is situated 55 miles northwest of Brussels and ten miles from the North Sea. The picturesque city, sometimes called the "Venice of the North" for its many canals, blooms with more than 700 buildings from the 17th century. The entire historic city center was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000.
