Full description Experience a different version of Bruges, one that few tourists get the chance to see. On this walking tour with a private guide, you will discover the ancient stories and legends hidden behind the walls of this fascinating medieval city. We will take you off the beaten track to show you some of the highlights and hidden gems of Bruges, revealing secrets that have been forgotten by time.

Our tour starts at the iconic Market Square, where you can admire the grandeur of the bell tower and hear early stories of Bruges' rise and fall as one of Europe's most prosperous cities. From there, we will head to the Old Stock Exchange, a historic building that witnessed important commercial transactions in medieval times.

Continuing on, we will arrive at the Jan van Eyck Square, named after the famous Flemish painter who lived in Bruges. This place is surrounded by historic buildings that reflect the cultural richness of the city during the Renaissance. Here, your guide will tell you stories about the life and work of the master and his impact on Flemish art.

A few steps from the square, you will find the Ghost House of Bruges. This enigmatic building is known for its ghost stories and unexplained happenings, and your guide will share the legends that have surrounded this house for centuries. It is a place that will definitely arouse your curiosity and make you look at Bruges with different eyes.

Next destination is the Golden Hand Canal, a beautiful but intriguing canal whose name comes from a dark legend about a hidden treasure and a tragic story of love and betrayal. As you stroll along its banks, you can enjoy the picturesque views and listen to the stories that will take you back in time.

Afterwards, we will visit the oldest pub in Belgium, a place full of history where you can learn about the local brewing traditions and perhaps enjoy a refreshing beer before continuing the tour. This pub has been a silent witness of countless historical events and is a meeting point for beer and history lovers.

The Jerusalem Church is our next stop. This fascinating Gothic building, built in the 15th century, is known for its unique architecture and mystical atmosphere. The church was inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and houses ancient relics and artefacts that will give you a deep insight into medieval spirituality.

Our tour continues to the City Gate, one of the historic entrances to Bruges that has survived the centuries. This defensive structure is a reminder of the times when the city needed protection from invaders. Your guide will explain the strategic importance of this gate and tell you stories of battles and sieges.

Near the City Gate, you will find the Windmills, picturesque structures that are not only beautiful examples of medieval engineering, but also played a crucial role in the daily life of the citizens of Bruges. Here, you will learn about their operation and the importance of these mills in the local economy.

The tour will end at the Bauhaus pub, a cosy and authentic place where you can relax and enjoy a complimentary beer. As part of this experience, you will be able to buy one beer and get another one for free, allowing you to taste different local varieties and meet other visitors and locals in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
