Recorded July 20, 2011: Bruges (Brugge in Dutch) is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is located in the northwest of the country. The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO and it is often referred to as "the Venice of the North." On my day trip here from Paris I spent the day walking around and seeing the sites of this beautiful city. I walked along the picturesque canals and visited the Church of Our Lady, Market Square, Burg Square and ended the day with a boat cruise through the canals of the city. From: timvp.com
