Il programma nel dettaglio
We will take the main shopping street in the direction of the Market Square. Halfway, we will pay a visit to the St.Saviour Cathedral. After visiting the Market Place with the imposing 83 m belfry and halles, we will continue to the Jan Van Eyck-square, once the center of Hanseatic Bruges. This area was the economic and financial hub of Flanders between the 13th and the 15th century. A lot of impressive houses are a statement to the leading role of Bruges as a commercial center in the old days.
We will pass the city theatre, the Saaihalle (1399), Huis ter Beurze ( the first stock exchange), the Toll House , etc.. A little bit further we arrive by the Burg, one of the most charming squares in town. We will now see the gorgeous Gothic City Hall, the basilica of the Holy Blood and the Liberty of Bruges , once the city’s courthouse , today the Municipal Archives. We will cross the Fish market, Tanners Square and the very picturesque Dijver. We will pass by at Our Lady church and a little further we will make a brief stop at St John’s Hospital ( one of the oldest preserved hospital buildings in Europe).
We will end our walk at the Minnewater and the Princely beguinage.
