Description
Hi, I'm Artur and I'll show you morning Bruges. How the city is being prepared for the Grand Performance (read: touristy day). We shall grab a coffee and walk and talk. Little stories, people, things.
Bruges before breakfast. (designed myself, I promise) A small group of maximum 10 walkers on a tour with Artur, a local guide. See Bruges with me in the morning with a cup of coffee and a walk. I'm Artur, the local tour guide. In the last few years telling people about Bruges has become my main job. Yes, I love history, probably that's why I'm a guide. But my normal tours are full of history and storytelling, dates, names etc. This tour is not like this. We shall talk little about everything. For a lot of locals in Bruges morning time is the time for preparations: they clean the terrace, set out the tables, bring in the deliveries and prepare our theater for a great performance. A busy, touristy business day with thousands of people on the boats, horses, and just big groups walking around. Yes, Bruges is indeed touristy, therefore this tour is intended to show you the quite Bruges (right before the crowds bus in) and tell you about its casual things: traditions, mindset, culture, people. We shall start on the market square - right in the heart of the city and walk through some of the main landmarks. We shall grab a glass of coffee and walk. Your pace. We shall meet some locals on the way trying to interact and pull us into conversation. By the end you will have an understanding of the local people, maybe you will even learn some phrases in Dutch or Flemish :) You will also learn that the coffee we were drinking is the most terrible in the world, but in Bruges it's the best one (people don't complain because they normally drink beer:) If you read so far - go for it and book it. I did my best to explain you the tour and did not even use AI to write it (trust me) :D
Highlights
- Market Square - we start in the heart of Bruges, but yet very quite
- De Burg - the political center (used to be), now - the most beautiful square
- Fish market - the most terrible place (spoiler: not anymore)
- Rozenhoedkaai - the most photographed place in Bruges (so let's take a picture)
- Church of Our Lady - tallest church in Bruges, but what's inside is incredible
