5 Stunning Outdoor Spots to See in Bruges
3. Begijnhof Neighbourhood – a unique opportunity to catch your breath
This enchanting neighborhood of Bruges dates from the 13th century and once hosted a community of Beguines. Although hundreds of years have passed since the times when Begijns lived here, nowadays the complex features some lovely white painted houses, a beautiful garden and a convent of Benedictine nuns.
Despite the waves of tourists who stop here during the summer months, Begijnhof remains an extremely quiet paradise. During the spring, the houses’ centers exhibit a fragranced carpet of daffodils that completes the neighborhood’s beauty.
Outside the place’s entrance gate (dating from 1776), there’s a chain of lace shops, outdoor restaurants, and waffle peddlers.
So take some time to relax, take some pictures and make wonderful memories within a delightful backdrop. It’s a spot where alluring views, delicate perfumes, elegance and yummy flavors blend together creating a complete experience you’ll never forget.
Time to go now; take one last look and prepare for the next stunning place you’re about to see.
