The Medieval- and Renaissance-era buildings and cobblestone streets of this quaint Belgian city tell only half the story. Known as the Venice of the North, this place is also laced with canals in many areas. Lacework, along with beer and chocolates, has also placed Bruges on the tourist radar. But perhaps among the city's greatest contributions to humanity is its artwork. Both Napoleon and the Nazis attempted to steal the cultural treasures of the city. However, as the movie "Monuments Men" gloriously portrays, Bruges' art, like a homing pigeon, eventually finds its way home.
