Introduction

Located in the center of Bruges, the building on the Belfortplein is the heart of the city and one of the filming locations for the movie "In Bruges". It features a statue of a historical hero leader who resisted French autocracy in the 14th century, as well as Gothic buildings like the provincial government and the post office. Moreover, on both sides of the square, there are fairytale-like buildings resembling gingerbread houses, which often appear in various Bruges tourism advertisements and product packaging. These prime locations are now home to many restaurants and cafes. If you dine at a restaurant near the Belfortplein, it is recommended to try the local specialty, the refreshing blonde beer, which pairs well with delicious and delicate dishes served by polite and handsome waiters. In summer, you can attend summer concerts here, and during Christmas, ice-skating events are held. You can also take a ride in a medieval-style horse-drawn carriage, travel through time and experience the history and culture of Bruges, or find a cozy corner to quietly sketch a colorful scene.
