Bruges Off The Beaten Track - Express Walking Tour

Let's explore the north side of medieval Bruges, where the crowds don't venture to! On this tour filled with fun facts, we'll dive into how Bruges grew into a major trading hub over the centuries, as I explain the medieval origins of some of our favourite English sayings. We'll make our way to the remnants of the first city walls, passing by the old city theatre; the old stock exchange and the Jan Van Eyck square (the old port). We'll go through medieval windy roads, past the 15th-century Jerusalem-church, to the old windmills on the outer limits of the old centre to see Bruges' medieval skyline, admiring beautiful old palaces and 15 century international trading embassies along our way back to where we started from. This would usually be Burg square where you'd have the option to visit the Count's Chapel and the Basilica of Holy Blood for free. You could also opt to deluge in a chocolate tasting, or visit the spectacular Jerusalem-church (for an extra cost).

Depending from the spot we meet up at, our tour will do a loop from and back to the closest itinerary point to that spot. ·Generally, we'd start from the Burg square, in front of the Old Count's Chapel and the Basilica of Holy Blood (both with an optional entrance).
