BRUGES: BELFRY & HALLE
The most recognizable sight in Belgium is the beautiful belfry and Halle, which dominates the main square in Bruges. Dating from the medieval era, this impressive building once functioned as the main town market hall and has been wonderfully preserved allowing visitors a real taste of the architectural might of the Middle Ages.
For most travelers to Belgium, a hike up the 366 winding and narrow steps of the belfry is a must-do activity while in Bruges. Once at the top, the views of church spires and steeple-roofs provide one of the country's most well-known panoramas.
