There is no doubt that Belgium is a country of beer lovers. How many other countries this size can boast more than 450 varieties of beer? The widely varying landscape produces a range of beers with contrasting tastes and flavors. Belgian brewing has kept pace with technology and produces beers that correspond to consumer demand while maintaining a traditional character and an array of beers that amazes visitors.
A 30-minute drive from the port brings you to Bruges. Set out on a walking tour of this medieval city that is even smaller than most Flemish cities. Follow your guide through the tiny streets, past ancient buildings, tree-lined canals and gabled façades. See the bustling marketplace, belfry tower, the Town Hall and the Chapel of the Holy Blood.
Step inside a local café to hear about Belgian brewing and enjoy a beer-tasting session. A Belgian beer expert will explain the history of this country's obsession with beer brewing. Together you will explore the delicious taste and flavors of four different kinds of beers.
Enjoy free time to explore on your own and to pick up the perfect souvenir of lace, chocolate or beer; then, head back to the coach via the romantic Lake of Love.
