UK and Europe Roadtrip - Bruges

Bruges was founded by the Vikings. The name Bruges (Brugge) is thought to derive from the old-Scandinavian word 'Brygga' meaning 'harbour' or 'mooring place'. The canals are often called the 'Reie' after the River Roya which used to flow into the Zwin estuary. Select the photo below to see The Church of Our Lady's Tower up closer.
