The Eurostar train will take approximately two hours twenty minutes to reach Brussels. Upon arriving in Brussels, you switch to the National Rail for your short journey to the wonderful city of Bruges.
Built around a labyrinth of canals and famed for its beauty, Bruges is often proudly referred to as the ‘Venice of the North.’ The two central squares, Market and Burg, surrounded by spectacular architecture, are meeting places for the people of Bruges. There are numerous terrace cafes and bars on Market square to sit back and enjoy the views. Even better for admiring the Market is the Belfort Tower overlooking the square, a 13th century tower with its winding staircase which is open to tourists. On the Burg square are some of the historically most important buildings in the city. The Heilip Bloed Basiliek contains one of the holiest relics in Christendom – a small bottle of blood, reputed to be that of Christ, brought back from Jerusalem during the Crusades. It is still paraded around the town in an ancient ceremony every Ascension Day. Next door to the small but important Church of the Holy Blood is the Stadhuis, the interior of which is as impressive as the exterior. The Gothic Hall is adorned with spectacular late 19th century friezes depicting medieval life in the city.
Belgium is famed for its rich artistic heritage and there is plenty of it to see in Bruges. The Groeninge Museum contains an impressive collection of fine art by the great artists such as Van Eyck, Jacob van Oost, Hieronymus Bosch, Rogier van der Weyden and Hugo van der Goes. |
