Bruges is a beautiful Belgian city that’s always a good idea if you don’t know where to travel next. There’s something for every type of traveler there, and it doesn’t matter when you go—because every season is magical in Bruges. Here are things to do in one day there.

Minnewater Park

The Minnewater Park is the perfect first stop when you arrive in Bruges. It’s just across the main city train station and offers so much beauty you won’t know where to look first. There’s the Lake of Love and Minne floating designer school.

The Diamond Museum

This is the place to see some of the prettiest stones ever. Belgium is known for diamonds, and this museum is where some of the best examples are held.

The Church of Our Lady Bruges

The Gothic style Church of Our Lady Bruges is a magnificent sight you shouldn’t miss. Aside from its architectural style, it’s also known for Michelangelo’s statue of the Madonna and Child.

Bruges Town Center

Don’t miss going for a walk in the city center. This is where you’ll find the most beautiful examples of décor and design, and it’s definitely the most beautiful around Christmas.
