Bruges, a historically rich city in Belgium also known as the 'Venice of the North', is struggling with tourists who are stealing cobblestones from its streets. The ancient city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, sees up to 70 stones stolen monthly. Local politician Franky Demon emphasized the cultural significance of the cobblestones, urging tourists to preserve the city's beauty for future visitors. As a solution, CNN suggests buying a box of Belgian chocolates as a memento instead.
