Walking Under the Belfry – Bruges' Church and Alleyways

The morning in Bruges began with the chime of church bells. The spire of **Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk (Church of Our Lady)** soared into the sky, while below it, quiet red-brick alleyways stretched out serenely. Inside the church, a profound silence enveloped the space. As I walked along the faded marble floor, I naturally found myself immersed in the tranquility. Stepping out of the church and into the alleyways, I discovered the true face of Bruges, away from the usual tourist paths. Small houses adorned with flowers at their windows, walls wrapped in vines, and cobblestone paths running alongside tranquil canals. Passing by a small lace shop, I suddenly realized that the beauty of this city lies not in grandeur but in its delicate details.
