Program details

Afterwards we start our walking tour and discover all the highlights of the city with Our Lady Church, the Market Square with the Belfry, the Holy Blood Chapel and many more. Do not forget your walking shoes! Free time will be allowed for individual visits.



A béguinage is a group of small buildings used by Beguines. These lay sisterhoods of the Roman Catholic Church were founded in the 13th century in the Low Countries and included religious women who decided to serve God but did not retire from the world.



Minnewater Park is a romantic park and lake that in spring and summer fills with beautiful swans. The swan is one of the symbols of Bruges. The legend says that in 1488 the people of Bruges had executed one of the town administrators named by Maximilian of Austria. Once the duke regained power he ordered that swans (present in his coat of arms) be kept on the canals forever.
