Tour description

A 1000 years of stories brought to you by a local storyteller. Travel back to the middle ages and imagine how life was when Bruges was the richest city in the world.

On our walk through the medieval heart of Bruges we will tell you about our Golden Ages. But also how we became the poorest city of Belgium afterwards and why we are once more flourishing as a city.

We'll share our stories about love and conflict, about architecture and wealth, why we like neither the French nor Dutch, but also about feminism and finance, and of course tell you about chocolate and beer.

Places & things we'll see:

Market Square
Belfry Tower
Church of our Lady
Bridge of Love
Canals
Rozenhoedkaai or Rosary Quay: postcard picture panorama
Fish market
Brewery
Burg Square
Town Hall
Basilica of the Holy Blood
Palace of Gruuthuse
St. John's Hospital
