A flourishing artisan trade also produced some of the best tapestries, sculpture, paintings and lace of unparalleled splendor.

Bruges remains today a charming and stunningly beautiful medieval city, graced by quiet waterways that time seem to have forgotten, and the best way to visit is by leisurely walking along its cobbled streets or gliding on a boat along its tranquil canals.
