Itinerary
Bruges is perhaps the most picturesque and charming city in Belgium. Once there, you'll be immersed in its medieval roofed facades, its many Flemish works of art, its postcard-perfect canals, museums and maze-like streets full of bars, and chocolate-scented shops.
After meeting your English speaking guide at Bruges’ Grote Markt (a World Heritage Site), you’ll starter discovering interesting stories about the city's history, admiring its monuments, such as the Belfry Tower, and as you enter the historic center, you’ll begin to immerse yourself in the best food tastings that Bruges has to offer.
Ever asked yourself why Belgium is famous for things like potato chips, beer, chocolate and waffles? The best way to learn about it is to hear the explanation accompanied by some samples of each as you go!
Here's a neat fact: there are two beers that are really connected to Bruges - Straffe Hendrik and Brugse Zot. You'll get to taste these at the only Belgian brewery right in the center of town. A free beer at the end is waiting for you to help you unwind and get you in the mood to explore more of Bruges' charm.
Not only you'll experience this great mix of history, beautiful sights, and delicious food and drinks but you'll also pick up some fun trivia about waffles and learn why those "French fries" should really be called "Belgian fries" (spoiler: it's all in the name!).
By the end of our Belgian food tour you'll probably have a good feel for why people love Bruges so much.
