Bruges is a city in the Flemish region of Belgium. The most visited city in Belgium is also known as the "Venice of the North" due to its numerous canals which cross through and circle around the town, and can be visited by boat. The town flourished in the Middle Ages, achieving the status of the city around 1128. Bruges has managed to maintain the splendour of its medieval architectural heritage, the centre is classified a World Heritage Site by Unesco. It is known for its Gothic brick buildings and for being the birthplace of primitive Flemish art.

During the visit, you will enjoy a break in the market dominated by the belfry, and most of all the Notre-Dame cathedral, with its 122-metre high red-brick tower, and its incomparable treasure: Michael-Angelo's 'Mother and Child'. After lunch, you'll have time to wander or buy some of Brugge's specialities, such as lace or chocolateBruges is a dream destination for lovers looking for a romantic break, whether visiting the town on foot or in a boat. Paris City Vision suggests you visit Brugge as part of a Summer canal cruise (tickets included) and a guided walking visit of the historic centre: a trip passing by the Béguinage (Beguin Convent), the town hall, Bourg Square, the Flemish Gothic style Holy Blood Basilica, and, of course, the Great Square (the market), the heart of the town surrounded by colourful, neo-Gothic style building façades. In winter the boat ride is not available.
