4. You will never forget the Windmills and their green surroundings

Located on the edge of Bruges’s historic centre, far away from the crowds, these four ravishing windmills are overlooking the canal surrounding the city.

One of them, St. Janshuismolen, can be visited anytime. It was built in the 18^th century (in 1770) and it hosts a small museum inside. The building is pretty impressive and it’s surrounded by a fence, as well as by epic green patches. Near St. Janshuismolen, there’s another windmill called Koelewei, 5 years older (1765) than its fellow neighbor. The third one is watching the town from the top of a hill. Go up there and enjoy some breathtaking views! You have another one left to see, as pretty and striking as its sisters.

Check out these monuments and enjoy their beauty and historical significance. You’ll have a lovely, peaceful time, not to mention that this can be a great opportunity to bring a picnic basket and sit on the grass!

You’re not tired already, aren’t you? Because there’s one more place – a truly special one!
