Bruges is often called the Venice of the North, and there is no exaggeration in this statement. Picturesque streets intersected by canals can delight even the biggest malcontent. Thanks to the wonderfully preserved medieval architecture, I was transported to the distant past of the city. Bruges is also wonderful churches and rich museums. In one of them, the Groeninge Museum I admired masterpieces by Hieronymus Bosch, Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling and many other artists.
