Belfry of Bruges
This medieval tower is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. It once served as a treasury and archive but is now converted into a touristic attraction and an observation point. This is where Ken and Harry (Ralf Fiennes) have their big shutout. On the other hand, the plaza in front of the tower is where Ray delivers some of his best bits.
