The Golden Triangle - Classic Walking Tour of Bruges

This tour brings us through the bustling south-side of medieval Bruges, where besides covering the main highlights it has to offer, we'll explore the fascinating history of the town. We'll encompass several different eras, from its humble beginnings in the 9th century through to the Golden Burgundian Age in the 15th century to its rediscovery in the 19th century. Besides the historical background, I'll make sure you dive into Flemish/Belgian culture & art history with me, as I provide local insights and popular anecdotes on how it is to experience growing up/living in this UNESCO World Heritage Site today. 'Never a dull moment'- guaranteed. Not to mention, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy some chocolate tasting! You can also opt to see the 'Madonna and Child' statue by Michelangelo inside the Church of our Lady or go inside the Groeninghe Museum to admire the 'Flemish Primitives' paintings, both for an extra expense.
