Things to Do
Start your sightseeing in the old town where you have ancient buildings, the medieval market square and plenty of restaurants and cafes to relax in. Quaint streets in brilliant colours will catch your eye at every corner. Soak up the old-worldly atmosphere and maybe take a ride on a horse-drawn cart.
Bruges City Hall in Burg Square dates back to the 1300s, making it one of the oldest city halls in the entire Netherlands region. There is a museum on the ground floor. Grand statues with windows surrounded by intricate designs make it a beautiful building to photograph. The interiors are stunning, with an elaborately decorated Gothic room. It also looks fantastic lit up at night.
Bruges is famous for lace-making, and it is a part of Belgium’s culture that dates back to the 15th century and continues today. In the early 20th century, there were nearly 50,000 lacemakers in Belgium, with most being based in Bruges. The Bruges Lace School of the Apostolic Sisters operates from The Lace Centre of Kantcentrum, which also has a museum. You can take a tour or class to learn all about lace making.
Expect to see a lot of castles in Bruges. With about 50 in the Bruges area alone and 470 in the Flanders region, you won’t have time to see them all. So let us tell you three of the best ones to see. The Lake of Love is a rustic castle with a beautiful park in an area called Minnewater. Have a picnic by the Lake of Love and walk over Lovers Bridge on the way to the castle. Castle Loppem is a Neo-Gothic castle with ornate interiors and fine artwork on display. The gardens are lovely, and there is a maze to get lost in. Streekhuis Castle Tillegem is another well-preserved historical castle that looks like it belongs in a fairytale.
With castles come ghosts and many people believe Bruges is haunted. Take a ghost or vampire tour to hear all about the scary stories and local legends that might be true. If you don’t want to freak yourself out, how about a chocolate tour instead? Bruges is well-known for producing quality chocolate and you should buy some tasty treats to take home. Choco-story is a chocolate museum in Bruges that is worth a visit. Beer tours are big too, and if you are there in February, the Bruges Beer Festival is a fun and merry event.
