We will continue to St. John's Hospital, one of the oldest hospitals in Europe, dating back to the 12th century. Today, the hospital houses a museum dedicated to the history of medicine and the work of Hans Memling, one of the most important painters of the Flemish Renaissance.

Next stop will be the Beguinage, a quiet and picturesque place where the Beguines lived in community since the 13th century. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a glimpse into the spiritual and daily life of these pious women.

We will then walk to the Lake of Love, a romantic and serene place surrounded by parks and picturesque bridges. Legend has it that those who cross the bridge with their loved one will be together forever.

Bruges' smallest street is another highlight of our tour. This charming passage is a hidden gem that offers a magical sense of what life was like in the city centuries ago.

We will visit the majestic Church of Our Lady, famous for its brick tower and statue of the Madonna and Child by Michelangelo. This sacred place is an impressive example of Gothic art and architecture.

Continue to the Bridge of Love, a picturesque spot offering unforgettable views of the canal and the surrounding historic buildings. It is a perfect place to take pictures and enjoy the romantic atmosphere of Bruges.

The Dijver, a beautiful canal, leads to the Rosary Quay, known for its panoramic views and charming atmosphere. This place is perfect for a break to admire the beauty of Bruges from the water.
