Markt - Market Square, Bruges

The main square in Bruges is absolutely stunning. I read on the Wikipedia article (here) that it was rennovated in 1995. There used to be parking in the square but now it is mostly traffic free (...although I do recall almost being plowed down by a huge tour bus!).

Alba's main square

Alba is a cute little town and I really enjoyed walking around the cobblestoned streets. Below are some views of the church in the main square, as well as the main square itself.

There was a busy market in the morning when we first arrived. It closed up early afternoon... the market was in the main square (shown below), as well as along two of the major streets. It made for crowded sidewalks...

See the lady peeking out of the window next to the balcony?! Haha... cute.
