The historic center of Bruges has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 thanks to its status as one of the commercial and cultural capitals of Europe and its enduring Gothic architecture. The Belgian city center is cited as a great example of a medieval historic settlement, even while it has evolved over the years.
The Bruges Town Hall was built in 1376—and amazingly, the city has been governed from this building for more than 700 years. Go inside to see the Town Hall’s 19th century Gothic Chamber and the painted figures that shed light on the city’s incredible past.
Day 2
Learn about the Bruges of the 17th century at this museum, which features almshouses, a cobbler’s, barrel and hat maker’s workshop—and other depictions of life long ago. On Thursday afternoons, the museum serves up fresh sweets made using traditional recipes and techniques.
A short distance from Bruges’ city center stands Castle ten Berghe, a medieval castle located inside a gorgeous green park and surrounded by a moat. It's a trip back in time to the Middle Ages. Perfect for antique, art and nature lovers, the Castle offers wonderfully preserved guestrooms for those who stay overnight---and great scenery for those who travel here from Bruges.
A small but well-regarded commercial beer company, De Struise Brouwers is the brainchild of two ostrich farm owners (and in fact, the brewery’s name is taken from the historic Flemish name for this bird). It produces award-winning, distinctive regional beers in its own microbrewery in West Flanders, making them available for sampling and sales to visitors.

Day 3
Bicycling hobbyist Eric Popelier launched this bike rental company to rent Oxford bikes (and brand-new electric ones) to tourists exploring Bruges. His bike supply is replaced every six months, ensuring high-quality rides for all—and he makes child seats and bike bags available free of charge.
Offering both cozy overnight accommodations and a café-restaurant and bar, Lokkedize is conveniently located in Bruges’ city center. The bar often features live jazz, rhythm and blues or singing—and stays open and serves late for evening film- and theater-goers.
