Whether you're walking or on a Segway Tour, Bruges boasts a host of architectural must-sees.

From there you'll have to look up to see the massive tower of the Church of Our Lady, the second-largest brick tower in the world and a gorgeous neo-Gothic monument. The ancient 12th century Basilica of the Holy Blood and Burg Square, in the Burg Square, carries on Bruges' Roman Catholic traditions in somewhat humbler style.
