Sightseeing

Upon visiting Bruges, you will immediately notice that this city has always carefully cherished its architectural and artistic treasures from the past. What makes Bruges so typical though, is the way it deals with this past today. The people of Bruges would like to invite you to join them and to enjoy it as much as they do.

Walking is the best way to discover Bruges. The city is rather small - you can easily walk across it in half an hour. On this site you’ll find 4 walking tours of an hour and a half each which allow you to explore Bruges at your own pace.
