Bruges walking tour and boat trip

Thanks to its medieval beauty, the Old Town of Bruges has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. 

Its corners are full of stories and secrets that our local guide will tell you. One of the most romantic places of the walking tour is the Lake of Love, also known as Minnewater.

We will talk about the beguinages or beguinages, which were structures that associated Christian women with a vocation of service to the sick and homeless. Walplein Square, which literally means "wall square", refers to the first city walls, where you can experience a journey through time.

From there you can also enter the Stoofstraat, one of the narrowest streets in Bruges, which actually translates as "street of cookers". These cookers are associated with thermal baths where the lords, during the golden age of the 14th and 15th centuries, relaxed.

We continue our tour to the Hospital de San Juan, the oldest in Europe, which is now a museum housing works by Memling, Picasso, Miró… What an attraction for art lovers!

The Church of Notre Dame and the Gruuthuse Palace are other stops on this tour.

The Tanners' Square and the Castle Square, home to some of the most incredible buildings in Bruges, will help you to get the essence and the history. Before the end of the tour, we will stop at the Basilica of the Holy Blood, a Catholic Church which houses the relic of the blood of Christ.

We will say goodbye at the Market Square and from here you can enjoy a boat trip along the canals of Bruges throughout the day. Discover the hidden corners that can only be discovered from the water and cruise the canals and waterways, which are the real arteries that criss-cross the city. Are you up for it? Book now!
