Bruges is another "Venice of the North": canals, bridges and architectural style that resembles ancient really romantic. Although the lower floors are occupied by fashion shops with windows and swans scatter light in all directions trying to approach them for the transition from medieval to the modern city has been surprisingly sweet. Therefore, a walk in the streets with few houses are almost perfectly preserved in returning to the past. At the same time, it seems that the influx of tourists in Bruges deletes anime instead.
