Bruges is an exquisitely-preserved medieval town. This true jewel, beribboned with picturesque canals, came into its own in the Middle Ages. It was a port, a key market for the great Hanseatic League of mercantile cities, and an important banking center. This prosperity, visible in the opulence of the mansions and civic buildings, lasted until the end of the 15th century.
A 30-minute drive from the port brings you to Bruges. Set out on a short walk to the city center, where your guided carriage ride begins. Often called Die Scone or the beautiful one, this charming medieval city will capture your heart immediately. Smaller and more contained than many other Flemish cities, Bruges gives you the feeling that you have stepped back in time.
A horse-drawn carriage will take you through the narrow, twisting cobblestone streets, passing by picturesque montages of ancient buildings, tree-lined canals and gabled façades. See the bustling marketplace, Belfry Tower, Town Hall and the Chapel of the Holy Blood from the outside.
Fortunately for visitors, Bruges is brimming with small shops selling chocolates and lace. Some free time will allow you to search for the perfect souvenir, edible or incredible.
