Tour description
Bruges is one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities, a UNESCO-listed labyrinth of cobbled alleyways, picturesque canals, and stepped-gable houses that once made it one of the richest cities in the world. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the golden age of Flemish cloth merchants and the romance of the modern-day 'Venice of the North'.
You will stand beneath the majestic Belfry tower, cross arched bridges spanning serene canals, and explore the squares where medieval merchants once built immense fortunes. Along with its famed traditions of chocolate, lace, and beer, Bruges is an enchanting city to explore on foot.
