The tour starts in the main square Grote Markt. Here we can see the municipal bell tower that dominates the sky of the city, the so-called ¨Belfort¨, World Heritage Site. Our next stop will be another of the main squares of the city, the Burg, where we will discover the place where the Holy Blood is located, we will see where the old San Donaciano Cathedral was located, destroyed by the followers of the French Revolution, the 14th century Gothic Town Hall. Then we will cross a narrow and peculiar street and we will arrive to the Fish Market and the Tanners Square with its old guild house. After that we will be able to arrive to one of the most photographed point of Bruges, although the whole city is worthy of photographs, the Rosario dock has remained the photographic protagonist.
Now we will advance through the Dijver canal to be able to enter the garden of the Gruuthouse, one of the most important families of the city, and crossing the Bonifacio bridge, we will admire the Church of Our Lady, with its
115 metres high brick tower, which houses the Michelangelo’s world-famous sculpture Madonna and child. From here you can see the ancient Saint John’s Hospital, one of the best preserved medieval hospitals in Europe, inside the church of the hospital is the Memling Museum that exhibits one of the seven wonders of Belgian art, the Reliquary Shrine of Saint Ursula. Our trip will continue through one of the main streets and we will get lost in one of its most beautiful alleys, Stoofstraat, after crossing it we will arrive at one of the most famous beer factories in the country De Halve Maan, from where the city's beer is made, and we will tell about its peculiar system of transporting beer.
And arriving to the end, we will enter the Beguinage, a mandatory stop, founded in the 13th century, which is added to the list of World Heritage Sites. We will finish our tour with a new touch of romanticism in the Minnewater or better known as the lake of ¨Love¨.
