Stepping into Bruges is like wandering through the pages of a medieval fairy tale. Encircled by ancient walls, the city's heart beats around the Markt Square, flanked by gabled buildings and the iconic, step-gabled facades that line its cobbled streets. Here, the majestic Belfry stands as a sentinel of the city's rich history, offering panoramic views of spires and tiled roofs. Bruges’ medieval charm is palpable, with every alley and canal echoing tales of yesteryears, inviting travelers to explore its storied past and enchanting beauty.

Twentysomethings appreciate Bruges’ fairy-tale charm, quaint canals, and indulgent Belgian chocolates—though some find it quieter than bigger cities. It’s a dream for those seeking a chill vibe, scenic bike rides, or canal cruises. At Voyista, we’ve traced the cobblestone streets firsthand to find the best value stays, top craft breweries, and hidden nooks away from the main square crowds. Whether you’re pairing Bruges with Brussels or just passing through on a Europe rail trip, we map out your route so you can savor the romance without the stress.
