Tour description

See Bruges in a different light — beyond the postcards and fairy-tale charm. This evening tour takes you through the real history of Bruges: full of power struggles, trade empires, haunted houses, and the rise and fall of a once-mighty medieval city.

As the crowds fade and the lights come on, we’ll explore the stories behind Bruges’ stunning monuments. We will tell you tales of merchants and emperors, uprisings and defeats, and how this small town became one of Europe’s most important cities in the Middle Ages. After 2 hours we will leave you with a deeper understanding of Bruges, as well as a coupon for a complementary beer in a cool local pub called the Bauhaus.

Places we visit:

Market Square.
Old Bursary.
Jan van Eyck Square.
Ghost House of Bruges.
Golden Hand Canal.
Oldest Bar of Belgium (Vlissinghe).
Jerusalem Church.
Windmills.
Bauhaus.

Free Walking Tours are designed for individuals and small groups. Are you traveling in a group bigger than 6 people? Please contact us for possible options!

Here we'll tell you the history of the beautiful Jan van Eyck square, the old harbour of medieval Bruges!
