Belgium Itinerary

Brugges is one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Europe. The houses are built of brick, worn smooth by the passing years. There are also majestic buildings and churches. All of these huddle the banks of canals. It is a center of Flemish painting, art, and architecture. Less known than Brussels, the capital city, Brugges is a rival to Venice and Amsterdam in beauty, atmosphere, and great art treasures.
