Itinerary
Here we start. Every building on this square is a unique monument of cultural heritage and has its own story.
We shall see the exterior of the Belfry Tower and learn its main purpose through history.
This is where it all started more than a 1000 years ago...
This Basilica is where the Holy Blood is stored for already hundreds of years.
The street of the Blind Donkey. Why?
This square has a very dark history. Dark and stinky. Usually houses tell their own story: that's how it works here as well.
Most crowded. Most Photographed.
BONUS CONTENT!:D For the Beer lovers ONLY!
One of the Oldest Bridges in Bruges. With a Statue of St Nepomucenus.
"The Bridge of Love?"
The former house of Louis of Gruuthuse. Exterior visit.
Tallest building in the world.

About Bruges
Bruges is a medieval Flemish city of canals, cobbled squares and brick gables, its historic centre protected as a World Heritage site.
Bruges grew rich in the Middle Ages on the cloth trade and as a port joined to the sea by a channel, until the waterway silted up and left the city almost untouched for centuries. The Markt square is overlooked by the Belfry, whose 366 steps lead up to a carillon and a view across the rooftops. A short walk away, the Burg holds the Gothic city hall and the Basilica of the Holy Blood.
Top-ranked sights in Bruges: Burg Square, Market Square (Markt), Minnewater (Lake of Love).
