EYE WONDER - Bruges, Belgium | EP. 08

Known for its winding canals, cobbled streets, and remarkably preserved medieval architecture, Bruges offers a glimpse into a past that still feels present. Once one of Europe’s most important trading centers, the city grew into a place of wealth, culture, and artistic influence. Today, its historic squares, Gothic buildings, peaceful waterways, and hidden courtyards continue to draw visitors from around the world. In this episode of EYE WONDER, we explore the streets and landmarks that define Bruges while looking beyond its postcard views. From the bustling Markt and the city’s iconic bell tower to quieter canals and lesser-known corners, this journey reveals how centuries of history have shaped the character of the city. Bruges is often called the “Venice of the North,” but its identity is entirely its own, a place where medieval history and everyday life exist side by side, and where every street seems to hold a story. Join us as we discover the history, architecture, atmosphere, and timeless beauty of one of Belgium’s most captivating cities.
