The Journey
Holy Savior Cathedral
Begin your Bruges adventure at the Holy Savior Cathedral, a majestic testament to the city's rich religious history. Originally a humble parish church, it ascended to cathedral status in the 19th century and boasts a stunning Neo-Romanesque façade. Explore its peaceful gardens and delve into its treasure-filled museum, a haven of religious artifacts and Flemish art. Allow ample time to soak in the cathedral's spiritual ambiance and admire its exquisite interior, a true reflection of Bruges' enduring historical significance.
Church of Our Lady
Marvel at the Church of Our Lady, an exquisite example of Flemish Gothic architecture. Its soaring brick tower, the second highest of its kind in the world, dominates the Bruges skyline. Inside, discover Michelangelo’s renowned 'Madonna and Child' sculpture, a masterpiece of the Renaissance. The church is not only a religious sanctuary but also a repository of art and history, making it a must-see landmark in Bruges.
Boniface Bridge
Step into a fairytale on the Boniface Bridge, one of Bruges' most romantic and picturesque spots. Often called the 'lover's bridge,' it offers enchanting views of the canals, ivy-covered cottages, and the elegant Gruuthuse Palace. This small bridge offers one of the most photogenic views in Bruges and exudes a timeless charm that will transport you to another era. Take a moment to soak in the beauty and capture the perfect memory.
Rosary Quay (Rozenhoedkaai)
Prepare to be enchanted by Rosary Quay, arguably the most beautiful spot in Bruges. Known as Rozenhoedkaai in Flemish, this postcard-perfect quay is framed by weeping willows and mirrored buildings that reflect in the tranquil waters. It's easy to see why Bruges is often called the 'Venice of the North' when standing in this idyllic location. Whether bathed in sunlight or illuminated by evening lights, Rosary Quay offers a quintessential Bruges experience.
Market Square (Grote Markt)
Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Market Square, the bustling heart of Bruges. Surrounded by historic buildings, charming cafes, and open-air markets, this lively hub offers a taste of local life. Dominating the square is the iconic Belfry of Bruges, a medieval watchtower that once oversaw the city’s thriving cloth trade. Explore nearby attractions such as the neo-Gothic Provincial Palace and the modern Medieval Museum, offering a fascinating blend of history and innovation.
Burg Square
Conclude your Bruges exploration at Burg Square, a historical and architectural gem. Despite its smaller size, it boasts two remarkable landmarks: the ornate Town Hall, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, and the Basilica of the Holy Blood, home to a revered Christian relic.
