Bruges, Belgium: Great Sights in the Center

Bruges Market Square, ringed by restaurant terraces, great old gabled buildings, and the bell tower, marks the city center today as it did in its medieval heyday. Climb the bell tower s 366 steps for a commanding view, grab a bench in the courtyard to enjoy a free carillon concert, or rent a bike and get lost in the back streets.
