Bruges, Belgium in HD - Time To Travel

The city of Bruges, Belgium is one of the best preserved Gothic Era cities in Europe. Located near the English Channel it became a major trading center. In the early 1500's Bruges' access to the sea was cut off when the river filled with silt. Trade moved to Antwerp and Bruges went into a kind of time capsule that wasn't opened until the middle of the 20th century when tourists discovered this sleeping beauty. A great city for walking and enjoying chocolate, beer and lace making.
