Description
Our tour will start at the Minnewater, the love lake, beside the imposing Gunpowder Tower. We will enter into its old city center and the fist place we will visit will be one of the most magical places of Brugge, its Beguinague, declared a World Heritage Site by Uneco. Crossing its wall, we will get to Walplein, where we will able to visit its famous brewery, De Halve Maan. But there is no time to drink a beer, maybe later, because now we will have to cross to a peculiar place of the city, Stoofstraat alley, and we will arrive to Saint John’s site. Here we will discover on of the oldest hospitals of Europe. From here we can see one of the main spots of Bruge, the imposing tower of the Church of Our Lady, homes of Michelangelo’s world-famous sculpture Madonna and Child. We will cross Saint Boniface Bridge and we will discover Gruuthouse, home of one of the richest families of Bruge and important not only for the city, but also for the beer industry.
Continuing our dazzling walk along the banks of the Dijver canal, we will arrive at the most photographed place in Bruges, ozenhoedkaai. And after crossing the Tanners Square and the Fish Market, we will come across one of the most impressive squares in the city, the Burg, where the Basilica of the Holy Blood is located. We will end our tour in the main square of the city the Grote Markt, the market square, with its imposing Belfort, municipal bell tower.
We will offer during or after our tour a free tasting of Belgian famous chocolate.
Once the tour is finished, you will have free time to enjoy and discover the city by your own. The guide will give you some tips to take advantage and will fix a time and meeting point to come back to Brussels all together. Aprox: 4 hours.
In some circunstances, the guide could propose another alternative. It would be to come back by your own. The guide will give you all the neccesary information to come back to Brussels without any problem.
