Belgium Wijngaardplein, Brugge

Visiting the historic old town of Brugge is like stepping into a medieval fairy tale. This beautifully preserved UNESCO World Heritage site is best explored on foot, allowing you to fully appreciate its charming cobblestone streets, picturesque canals, and stunning architecture. The compact nature of Brugge means that everything is well-connected and close by, making it easy to navigate and ensuring you won't miss any of its highlights.

I used a very low angle to get this photo of the channel including the swans and historic sites. Coming here in the early morning was a great way to get some soft light in the scenery as well and its definitely less crowded in the city. I was walking around almost by myself which was a great way to explore Brugge.

Don´t try to bring your car here. Just park at the main train station for a very cheap price per 24h and walk from there. Maybe you can also rent a scooter if you dont like to walk too much. Its nice to walk around in the morning and have some breakfast at a closeby cafe afterward!
