Sluis
A walled town right on the Belgian border, home to the only medieval belfry town hall in the Netherlands, ringed by windmills and moats, with a lively atmosphere for shopping and food.
In the Middle Ages, Sluis was the outer port of Bruges. The belfry of its town hall is the only Flemish-style belfry remaining in the Netherlands, and a carillon figure called Jan van Sluis strikes the bells on every hour. Outside the town you can see remains of star-shaped fortifications and windmills. Inside the town, the streets are lined with boutiques and restaurants, and many Belgian visitors come here. Sluis is about 20 km from Bruges and is often combined with Bruges and Cadzand on a single route.
