Featured this month
Bruges is a city full of delights. As you wander past its highlights, centuries old squares, and mysterious little corners, you gradually discover its history in a nutshell. A must for every first time visitor to Bruges.
Here begins the history of the “Rapestik”, where every grave monument tells a story. Two hundred years of funerary symbolism and death culture await anyone who wanders wistfully through the many corridors of this green garden.
Bars, pralines or bonbons, cookies, ice cream, but also chocolate spread and hot chocolate. Dark, milk, white, even ruby. Chocolate in every shape, size, and weight—used as currency, in medicine, as candy, for strength, in books and on film, and yes, even in love.
Every month Dutch speaking Bruges enthousiasts can book a guided theme tour out of our offer, for which you can register individually.
