Top Architecture in Bruges

Try to catch the Market Square during sunset; it transforms completely with the changing light. I had the best evening just soaking in the vibe and snapping photos!

Check out the local cafes for breakfast! I found a lovely spot serving delicious waffles at a reasonable price - way better than the overrated tourist traps.

Get to Market Square early, around 8 AM, to catch the stunning morning light and enjoy the square without the crowds. I loved taking photos without bumping into other tourists!

I think visiting in the off-peak season, like late September, gives you a much more pleasant experience. The weather was still decent, but way fewer tourists.

If you're planning to visit, try going at 10 AM when it opens. The light coming through the stained glass is incredible, and you'll beat the crowds!

Definitely check out the roof and the art inside – I kinda missed this my first time. There’s a hidden gem of a statue that I later found out everyone was raving about.

I suggest bringing some cash for donations. They have a small fee for certain areas that really helps keep the place beautiful without breaking the bank.

i recommend visiting around 9 am when the crowd is lighter. you'll get better photos of the stunning architecture without too many tourists in the background. trust me it's worth waking up early!

I suggest exploring the side streets leading away from the square. Some of the best shops and hidden gems are just a few steps away, and you won't feel as rushed as in the main square.
