Upon arrival, discover why Bruges is known as “the Venice of the North” and why its entire historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On a guided tour, discover landmarks such as the Castle of Gerald the Devil and Saint Bavo Cathedral, home to the world-famous painting The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb by the Van Eyck brothers.
Admire the Belfry, the impressive Town Hall with its Gothic and Renaissance styles, and St. Nicholas’ Church facing the striking Masons’ Guild House. Stroll along the medieval harbor of Graslei and see highlights such as the Castle of the Counts of Flanders, the Great Butchers’ Hall, the Old Fish Market, and Friday Market Square.
