On a whim, I took a random train from the Brussels Central Station to the quaintly beautiful Belgian city of Bruges – the Venice of the North. In the 16th century, the city of Bruges adopted a tradition of weaving lace into thousands of shapes and patterns, contributing to Belgium’s textile industry success. The construction of new walls and canals eventually gave the city of Bruges its current shape. Despite their close proximity, the Centre of Bruges and the Markt are distinct entities. Words will never be enough for me to describe how beautiful and rich in history and culture the city of Bruges is.
