Bruges On Your Own

Discover Belgium’s Fairy-Tale Medieval City at Your Own Pace Hear from a knowledgeable local before exploring the pretty streets of Bruges, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Begin at Walplein, a short distance from the historic city center. Here, your escort will be at your disposal for one hour to answer your questions before you set off on your own to discover this well-preserved medieval city. Often called “Die Scone,” or “the beautiful,” Bruges’s charm will captivate you. Smaller and more contained than other old Flemish cities, Bruges will make you feel as though you have stepped back in time. Laced with tree-lined canals, the city is a delight to wander, with its narrow, winding cobblestone streets bedecked with picturesque scenes and gabled facades and brimming with quaint lace and chocolate shops. Browse the bustling marketplace, climb the belfry tower, relax in a traditional coffee shop or sample Brugse Zot, the delightful local beer. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
