    The Basilica of the Holy Blood is an important religious site with a stunning interior. The relic of the Holy Blood, said to contain drops of Christ's blood, is an awe-inspiring sight. The lower chapel is atmospheric and peaceful. The upper chapel is a contrast with its vibrant Gothic design. A must-visit for its spiritual and historical significance.

    Stopped in this church as part of a visit to Bruges with friends. The stained glass windows are very beautiful and intricate! Worth visiting.

    Peaceful escape from the strolling masses (yes, we were part of those strolling masses at times). Lovely little garden area. Quite old houses! (A few hundred years old.) You can't go in them, or really see in them (except maybe one or two), but still kind of neat to see from the outside, or just to enjoy the serenity of the enclosed garden away from the crowds.

    A less-frequently visited church by most tourists, but a beautiful and interesting church. Constructed in the 17th century and dedicated to St. Francis Xavier in 1642. The interior has beautiful while columns and elegant Baroque design. Also some attractive paintings. The church has an interesting history, including periods of time when it was converted to non-religious uses under French occupation. Entrance is free.

    You might see it called CallejĂłn del Asno Ciego but it is an English Convent. Many Catholic nuns from England were banished by their King when Catholicism was declared to be illegal. This convent has been around since the 1600's and the current group of nuns have a lot of history to impart.
    Hours can vary and a contribution to the order would appropriate if you spend some time with one of the sisters.

    The last time that we visited the beautiful Beguinage in Bruges, the church wasn’t open, fortunately on this trip it was.

    Located within the grounds of this ancient lay catholic convent, the original church on the site was built in 1245 but after a fire was rebuilt in 1605. So this is the newer version!

    The statue over the entrance does however date back to the 13th century.

    A very nice, peaceful spot to visit, just a few metres from the hustle & bustle that is Bruges.
