This is a beautiful Basilica that comprises two level churches. It is snugly located in a corner of Burg Square, the Basilica of the Holy Blood consists of a Romanesque lower chapel and a Gothic upper chapel The lower level church, a dark Romanesque structure, is so beautiful and has amazing statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. The upper level church, connected by staircase, is amazing with modern and gothic style, houses the Relic of the Holy Blood. We were so lucky to visit on a Sunday morning when they held a mass and the Relic was on display afterwards for visitors to see it and get the blessings.
2. Brugse Vrije
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 258 reviews
The Brugse Vrije is the former law court of Bruges. It now houses written history of Bruges as the city archives are based here. Take a walk through the old court to the renaissance hall, which was once the alderman's chamber. Here, the highlight is a monumental 16th century wood, marble, and alabaster fireplace known as the Emperor Charles V fireplace, designed by Lanceloot Blondeel. (tickets via Stadhuis)

Gorgeous place adjacent to the city hall. Used to be a courthouse apparently. Amazing architecture and attention to details.

5. Windmills of Bruges

Even though 2 of the 4 windmills were relocated from outside Bruges, they fit in. It is a wonderful walk around Bruges-4.5 miles or 7 kilometers-so take the time and incorporate the 4 remaining gates into the whole experience. Watch out for the bicycle riders-they do love their bells!!!! Wonderful views from the remains of the defence wall of Bruges along the main canal. It gives you a different view of Bruges, especially around the Minnewater Lake area with the Grain Tower and the Powder Tower. Plus, not full of tourists-even though I was one! The 2 original windmills have a closed base while the newer windmills have a 4 brick dice base.
