7. Bruges, Belgium
Bruges feels like stepping into a fairy tale, and it’s one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. The canals, old brick buildings, and horse-drawn carriages create a slow, romantic rhythm. It’s the kind of place where you hold hands and wander without a plan. The market square is lively, especially at night with the buildings all lit up. Try the Belgian waffles, obviously, and maybe share some chocolate from a local shop. A canal boat ride gives you a fresh view of the town and a little break from walking. Bruges isn’t flashy – it’s cozy, quiet, and full of charm. Perfect for couples who love old-world vibes. Plus, it’s small, so you can explore it all at your own pace.
