This accessible shore excursion takes you to Bruges, where history and architectural beauty intertwine. A panoramic drive takes you along a picturesque canal, offering serene views of the ancient city walls adorned with historic windmills.
Enter the medieval city on a slow-paced walking/rolling tour, passing through one of Bruges' four iconic city gates in the footsteps of Emperor Charles V.
Head to Market Square, where the majestic belfry stands tall and a vibrant atmosphere celebrates this iconic city. See Burg Square, home to the grand City Hall and the elegant Palace of the Brugse Vrije. Step inside the Basilica of the Holy Blood and access the upper chapel by elevator.
Next, meander along the picturesque canals near the Old Fish Market and to Tanner's Square. Just around the corner, encounter the most photographed spot in Bruges -- the stunning Rosary Quay. Don't miss the Beerwall -- a bar boasting a display of more than 2,000 Belgian beers. Enjoy the view from the terrace overlooking Rosary Quay -- relax and savor the moment.
From the exterior, see the spire of the Church of Our Lady and Gruuthuse Palace, and walk/roll past the Rooms Convent -- an almshouse featuring a charming inner garden escape within the city.
Bustling Katelijnestraat, renowned for its delightful shopping options, invites you to shop for Belgian chocolates, waffles and exquisite lace.
