Itinerary

1. The historic center of Bruges, where a covered harbor about one hundred meters long could once be seen. The old buildings and the interesting facts (8 min)
2. The Belfry. The tower that marks the center of Bruges, where the city became wealthy in the Middle Ages and which houses the oldest carillon in the world. (5 min)
3. The Burg. Where Judith and Baldwin, princess and knight, laid the foundations for the prosperous city of Bruges. (10 min)
4. Where the Lord of Gruuthuse became the richest knight in Flanders. Becoming rich through beer — sounds quite appealing to me. (8 min)
5. The place you would have tried to avoid in the Middle Ages. No anesthesia and many diseases. (10 min)
6. Probably the most picturesque square in Bruges. And you can enjoy a good meal there. (5 min)
7. The oldest brewery in Bruges, with a very ingenious system for transporting beer to the other side of the city. (10 min)
8. The Love Bridge, or the Kisses Bridge. Very romantic, yet with a rather macabre side. (7 min)
9. How Philip the Fair chose his bride. (7 min)
10. The most beautiful promenade in Bruges, but also the oldest harbor of the city. (5 min)
11. Wealthy people lived here. It was home to the richest guild of Bruges, but the work they did is certainly not something you would want to do. It was also the smelliest place in Bruges. (10 min)
12. The loudest place in Bruges… full of fishwives. (5 min)
13. To conclude, a delightful boat trip on the Reien. (35 min)
