A Must |
The audio tour will take us from the place du Burg, or Burg square, to the Grand Béguinage de la Vigne, one of the best-known and most picturesque spots in Bruges. On the way, we’ll be passing one of the city’s most beautiful museums. But our route will also take us through charming streets and into the beautiful Medieval church of Our Lady, where amongst other works of art, you will see a painting by Michelangelo. Our route will give you a good overall view of the city centre and its most famous monuments.

Informations
Author: Stephane Colin
Departure point: Burg Square
Arrival point: Grand Béguinage de la Vigne
Times: Since most of the sites are open from 9.30 to 4.30, we would advise you to begin your walks at around 9 o’clock in the morning, this will ensure you avoid the worst of the tourist crowds. We would also suggest you do not take this audio-guided tour on a Sunday morning when there is a service at the Cathedral, as this is one of the highlights of the visit.
