Belfry

Highlight • Monument

For centuries, the Belfry, with the City Hall at its feet, has watched over Bruges. The building, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built between the 13th and 15th centuries. This iconic symbol of Bruges' power, prosperity, and freedom in the Middle Ages has been a recognizable landmark in the city's skyline ever since. 366 steps lead up to the bell chamber in the 83-meter-high tower. The tower is older than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Eiffel Tower, and Big Ben.

Basilica of the Holy Blood

Highlight • Religious Site

The Basilius Chapel and the Ivo Chapel became the substructure of the Gothic upper chapel, the Chapel of the Holy Blood, which houses the relic of the Holy Blood, which is carried around in the Holy Blood Procession every year on Ascension Day. The Chapel of the Holy Blood was also originally Romanesque, but was renovated in the Gothic style in the 15th century. During the French Revolution, the upper chapel was largely destroyed and rebuilt in 1819-1839. It is now a showpiece of neo-Gothic decoration. Both chapels were elevated to the status of basilica in 1923 and contain many artifacts and a museum.

Bruges Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Construction began in 1376 and lasted until 1421. The building inspired the builders of the town halls in Brussels, Ghent, Leuven and Oudenaarde and had a major influence on the city's Gothic bourgeois architectural style.
A monumental staircase leads to the Gothic Hall on the first floor, where murals from the early 20th century depict the history of Bruges. The vault with original polychromed consoles from the 14th century also catches the eye. In the adjoining historic room, even more of Bruges' administrative history comes to life through original documents and paintings.
On the ground floor you come face to face with life-size portraits of former rulers: mayors, kings, emperors and even Napoleon. You'll also get an insight into the development of the castle and the square in front of the town hall, once the civic and religious administrative center of the city.

Old Civil Registry

Highlight • Historical Site

The old Civil Registry or Registry of the Brugse Vrije is one of the oldest Renaissance buildings in Flanders. It is located between the Mansion of the Brugse Vrije and the City Hall. It was completed in 1537 and housed the Registrar-Civil, one of the most important city officials. The facade is completely built in natural stone and is richly decorated with sculptures. The bronze statues date from 1883.

Rozenhoedkaai

Highlight • Viewpoint

For centuries this street along the canal has been called Zoutdijk. In 1390 it was mentioned that salt steeghere bi den Eechoutte. So it was probably there that a jetty was located where the ships that delivered salt were unloaded. The Rozenhoedkaai was not used as a name until the 18th century. The reason was that there were stalls set up that sold rosaries. It is not known why in some cases quay or dike was chosen over the more commonly used word rei. The Rozenhoedkaai runs from the Dijver to the Braambergstraat. The Rozenhoedkaai is also the most photographed point in Bruges.

Bonifacius Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The very photogenic Bonifacius Bridge may be one of Bruges' youngest bridges, but it still perfectly summarizes the city. A mysterious atmosphere, romance in abundance and fabulous sights that compete for your attention. Staring at the canals and overhanging half-timbered houses. A magical place at any time of the day.

Ezelpoort (Donkey Gate)

Highlight • Monument

It's a fun way to get to the city center. The Ezelstraat has many nice little shops and restaurants. You will also find a number of hostels for a low budget to stay one or more nights. On the Eiermarkt, on your left, you will find the 'Loge' of Pieter Aspe, a famous writer.
