Groupon’s Guide To Bruges

With a bundle of market squares, medieval brick buildings and canals adding up to an eclectic atmosphere, Bruges makes for a leap through time into the Middle Ages of northwest Belgium.

The historic centre of Bruges has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as Gothic landmarks such as the Town Hall and The Church of Our Lady illustrate significant stages in the commercial and cultural fields in medieval Europe. The artistic heritage is present throughout Groeninge Museum, housing six centuries of Flemish and Belgian painting, while the Bruges Art Route may be the star of a cycling tour through the city’s growing collection of paintings, sculptures and works-in-progress. Visitors with a sweet tooth will find chocolate-filled display windows all over town, and the Choco-Story provides an insight into the history and making of this cocoa treat.

Groupon’s Guide To Antwerp

One of the most popular touristic destinations in Belgium, Antwerp is a well-preserved medieval city located in the region of Flanders, with imposing examples of Gothic and Art Nouveau architecture. Located on the eastern bank of River Scheldt, linked to the North Sea, the city is one of the largest seaports in Europe, being an important economic and cultural centre for the Low Countries. 

Though mostly known as the world’s leading diamond city, trading almost 70% of all the existing diamonds on the market, Antwerp also presents countless other attractions making it a suitable place for an European city break. Culture and history enthusiasts will find in abundance architectural wonders to explore, such as the 14th century Cathedral of our Lady, one of the finest Gothic buildings in Europe. Further on, travellers may pay a visit to the Plantin-Moretus Museum, one of the country’s most prolific museums, which offers an insight into the working and living conditions during the 16th and 17th century. For a ride on the wild side, the Antwerp Zoo, located in the city centre, displays a stunning number of over 5000 exotic animals from almost 950 species.

Groupon’s Guide To Brussels

Known as the Capital of Europe, Brussels is a world-renowned cultural centre which combines museums and architectural landmarks with modern art. As the sun sets on the city’s many Art Nouveau buildings, century-old mansions and churches, the former fortress turns into a cosmopolitan place with bars, restaurants and buzzing nightlife.

Strolling through narrow alleyways and cobblestoned streets, tourists may visit La Grand-Place, a 17th century square blending Baroque, Gothic and Louis XIV architecture styles. Modern art form seekers may admire an iconic five-sphere structure at the Atomium, an imposing 102-metre complex that pairs up traditional cuisine with panoramic views over the city, in the on-site restaurant. At the foot of the Atomium, the whole Europe awaits to be explored at the Mini-Europe entertainment park that exhibits approximately 80 cities and 350 buildings in miniature. Music lovers can head to La Monnaie, the largest opera house in Belgium, featuring theatre performances, recitals, dance and classical concerts. No Brussels tour would be complete without taking a glimpse into the history of chocolate, a Belgian delight, at the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate, where travellers with a sweet-tooth can even learn to make artisanal truffles.
