Bruges - Day Tour From Brussels

Bruges - Day Tour From Brussels

Many visitors to Belgium make sure to include the lovely medieval city of Bruges in their vacation plans. This enchanting city is often called "The Venice of the North," because of its beautiful waterways and canals. Your private tour in Bruges should definitely take in a delightful boat ride along the historic canals of Bruges, allowing you the opportunity to relax and take in the scenery. You'll be able to absorb the full beauty of the city's intricate medieval architecture as you enjoy a comfortable boat trip.

Bruges' unique character was recognized by UNESCO in 2000 when it was placed on the World Heritage List.

As Bruges is mostly closed to cars, the visit will be a "Walking About" tour, but we will move from one place to another by car.

The Basilica church dedicated to the Holy Blood - The Basilica of the Holy Blood is exposed once or twice a day, and we won't miss the opportunity to " touch " it!
