What could be more romantic and inspiring than a place that looks like a backdrop for a fairy tale? The medieval overtones of Bruges’ cobblestone streets lead to countless historical, architectural and artistic wonders. Marvel at ornate houses lining intricate canals, and understand why this is a favorite destination for all types of travelers. The whole city emanates an appreciation of the past, a love of the present, and enthusiasm for the future. Don’t miss Hof Bladelin, Groeninge Museum, Church of Our Lady, and Belfry and Market Halls.

Basilica of the Holy Blood

This chapel contains a phial that reputedly contains Christ's blood brought back from the Crusades.

This is a beautiful Basilica that comprises two level churches. It is snugly located in a corner of Burg Square, the Basilica of the Holy Blood consists of a Romanesque lower chapel and a Gothic upper chapel The lower level church, a dark Romanesque structure, is so beautiful and has amazing statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. The upper level church, connected by staircase, is amazing with modern and gothic style, houses the Relic of the Holy Blood. We were so lucky to visit on a Sunday morning when they held a mass and the Relic was on display afterwards for visitors to see it and get the blessings.

The English Convent

Reviewed By sherbert - Leighton Buzzard, United Kingdom

I visited here and what a beautiful and very special place this is. There are limited opening times and if you do visit, you will find this one of the most undiscovered places on earth. I was treated to a tour by sister Frances (I did visit some time ago do sorry for the delay) and given a tour. Thank you for your kindness. I found out so many interesting facts, but I won’t spoil the fun of your own discoveries. I can say there are only a few nuns left and I was taken into the domed church and we did sing in there. In the 70s it was a B&B and I do know someone who visited there which is do quaint. It is absolutely stunning! Do take the time to stop by and discover what an incredible building this is. I must also visit again one day.
