Rute

1. As early as the 13th century, beguines inhabited the Princely Beguinage 'Ten Wijngaarde'. Unmarried women lived together in a closed community and led a fairly independent and emancipated life there. In 1998, UNESCO recognised the Bruges beguinage, along with 12 other Flemish beguinages, as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Today, the white houses surrounding the charming courtyard garden are still inhabited by a few nuns and by women who choose a serene lifestyle. You can visit this unique piece of World Heritage freely, but at dusk, the gates continue to be firmly closed.

2. A romantic hotspot par excellence! Once people believed that water nymphs (“minnen” in Dutch) lived here, and thus the lake acquired its name. Add to that a tragic love story, mysterious trees and an abundance of greenery and you get a place overflowing with romance. How about an Instagram post? The finest photos can be taken from the Lake of Love bridge, or by the Lockhouse. A hit even without filters.

3. The Church of Our Lady boasts the world's second-highest brick church tower. A timeless reminder of the craftsmanship of Bruges' builders. The tower, supported by eight strong powerhouses, stretches no less than 115 metres into the sky.

4. Welcome to the city’s most popular spot for photography, a centuries-old Instagrammable hotspot. Once upon a time, rosaries were sold here; today it provides one of the city’s loveliest views. The perfect place for a selfie with your beloved. Summer or winter, morning and evening, sun or rain, the romance of the Rosary Quay always works its magic. Come and feast your eyes!

5. The Market Square is the heart of Bruges, but the Burg Square is its soul. For centuries this has been the centre of power in the city, and Bruges’ city administration still occupies the 14th century Gothic Town Hall. This grand, majestic square is lined with monumental landmark buildings. These were built over the centuries, and reflect the building style of their age. A handy architectural guide assembled in a single square! From the Basilica of the Holy Blood through the Liberty of Bruges to the Deanery. Immerse yourself in the riches of Bruges.

6. Home to a relic of the Holy Blood collected by Joseph of Arimathea and brought from the Holy Land by Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders. Built between 1134 and 1157 as the chapel of the Count of Flanders, it was promoted to a minor basilica in 1923.

   10 min

7. The beating heart of Bruges has long been dominated by the Belfry, 83 metres high and the city’s most prominent building. Those who climb to the top of the Belfry are rewarded with a breath-taking panorama. In the Market Square itself, marvel at the imposing Provincial Court and the many colourful stepped gables, and maybe you’ll hop in for a carriage ride. This is, after all, the place where the coachmen wait, just to complete the picture.

About Amsterdam

Amsterdam omkranser sit centrum fra guldalderen med trækantede kanaler, gavlhuse og broer og pakker fin kunst og nem cykling ind i en kompakt by.

Kanalringen, gravet i 1600-tallet, krummer sig rundt om den gamle bykerne i koncentriske buer: Herengracht, Keizersgracht og Prinsengracht, kantet af høje købmandshuse. Jordaan, lige mod vest, er en labyrint af små kanaler, gårdhaver, brune caféer og uafhængige butikker, og Anne Frank Huset ligger ved Prinsengracht i dens udkant.

Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
