Informations: Off the beaten track in Bruges
Author: Stéphane Colin
Departure point: Eiermarkt, or Egg Market, 30 yards from the Markt.
Arrival point: Saint Walburg's Church
Times: The audio walk can be taken at any time, with the exception of Sunday mornings. It is however best to avoid the slot from midday to 2 pm and if possible, to visit between the 1st of April and the 30th September, when all the monuments mentioned will be open. Nevertheless, the walk is pleasant all the year long.

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.
