Bruges

Village Full day difficulty: Easy with kids: yes

A fairy-tale medieval city in Belgium, with canals, brick houses, cobbled squares and a bell tower whose bells are rung by hand. It smells of chocolate and waffle on every corner.

With kids

Tour the canals by boat among fairy-tale houses
Watch chocolate being made by hand in a shop and taste a piece
Eat a warm waffle with your nose full of the smell of sugar
Look for the swans that glide along the city's canals

Accessibility: All ages — a quiet, very walkable city

With family

Climb the 366 steps of the bell tower to see the rooftops
Watch the horses pull the carriages across the cobbled squares
Visit a windmill on the edge of the center
Get lost in the quieter little streets away from the main square
