Embark on a journey through the cobbled streets and historic marvels of Bruges, a city that seems frozen in time, preserving its tales within the embrace of its medieval architecture.
Our first destination is the Belfort, an imposing bell tower that proudly graces Markt 7. As you ascend its centuries-old steps, the panoramic view from the top unfolds, revealing the tapestry of red-tiled roofs and centuries-old facades that define Bruges.
A short stroll leads us to the De Halve Maan Brewery, where the art of brewing has been perfected over generations. Here, the fragrance of hops and barley mingles with the echoes of brewing traditions, inviting you to savor a taste of Bruges’ rich brewing heritage.
Our journey continues to the Basilica of the Holy Blood, a sanctuary that cradles a revered relic – a vial said to contain a drop of Christ’s blood. The hushed whispers of pilgrims and the intricate beauty of the basilica’s architecture create an atmosphere of reverence.
Wandering through the Princely Beguinage, a tranquil retreat from the city’s bustle, you’ll discover a serene courtyard surrounded by charming whitewashed houses. The Beguinage’s peaceful charm provides a glimpse into the contemplative life led by the beguines, women who devoted themselves to religious service.
The Historic Centre of Brugge unfolds before you like a living museum, with its medieval buildings and meandering canals. As you traverse its labyrinthine streets, you become a part of a story written in cobblestone, the essence of Bruges’ historical significance.
Arriving at the Market Square, you find yourself at the heart of Bruges’ communal life. The vibrant energy of the square, surrounded by architectural gems, beckons you to soak in the lively atmosphere and perhaps enjoy a moment of repose by the iconic Belfort.
A unique experience awaits at the Bruges Beer Experience, a journey through the city’s brewing legacy. In this immersive museum, the history of Bruges unfolds through the lens of its beloved beverage – beer. It’s not just a tasting; it’s a celebration of a craft deeply embedded in Bruges’ cultural fabric.
Our tour concludes in Bruges, West Flanders Province, leaving you with memories etched in the cobblestones, the taste of Belgian beer on your palate, and the timeless allure of a city that whispers its tales through every archway and canal.
At the end of the ride, your friendly driver will drop you off at your accommodation.
