The word sneukelen (to nibble, snack or secretly snoop around for treats) originates from Flemish dialects and goes back to the older verb sneuken, which meant “to sniff” or “to nose around.”
The chocolate “Bruges Swan” (officially: the Brugsch Swaentje) was not invented by one specific person. It was created in 2006 as the collective result of a competition and the Guild of Bruges Chocolatiers.
Local chocolatiers were invited to submit their own recipes, after which the people of Bruges selected the winning — and most delicious — creation through a public tasting.
The “Bruges Bear” (officially known as the Beertje van de Loge) originates from a 9th‑century medieval legend about the very first Count of Flanders, Baldwin I “Iron Arm.” According to the tale, this bear was considered “the oldest inhabitant of Bruges.”
The story behind this well‑known Bruges city symbol has two sides: the medieval legend and the historical reality.
Our thematic tours are often where the real magic happens. A tour about global Bruges? Absolutely — the city has been an international meeting place for centuries. You can still feel it in countless corners, alleys, and squares. A walk along bridges and water? You’ll quickly see Bruges as an open‑air museum shaped by flowing waterways. Or are you drawn to mystery? S‑wan offers walks full of legends and stories about Bruges’ darker past. Every step becomes a journey of discovery through hidden Bruges.
