Description

Escape the hustle and bustle of Brussels and spend a day in the Belgian countryside. Customize your itinerary and enjoy a private tour with a local guide. Visit the medieval city of Bruges, the Lake of Love, and the Quay of the Rosary. Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Brussels. When on the road, your guide will share historical facts, necessary information about the sights, and personal input to immerse you into the Belgian lifestyle. Add or remove stops from the suggested itinerary and customize the ride according to your preferences. Arrive in the heart of the medieval city of Bruges, the Markt, a large square where tourists mingle with locals. Admire the imposing Belfry Tower, the top of which can reward you with a breathtaking and unforgettable panoramic view of the city. Architecture lovers will be astonished by the beautiful buildings in Brug Square. The Basilica of the Holy Blood, the City Hall, the Oude Griffie, and the Palace of Justice are all of a unique style. Wander around scenic Walplein and navigate through its narrow alleyways such as Stoofstraat. Let your driver show you St. Salvador's Cathedral and the Church of Our Lady and spend some time marveling at their richly decorated interior. In the latter, you will have the opportunity to witness firsthand the most celebrated treasure of the church, a white marble sculpture of the Madonna and Child created by Michelangelo. However, the main attraction of Bruges is the Lake of Love. Grab your significant other and take a long through the peaceful Minnerwaterpark. Local legend says that you will experience eternal love if you walk over the lake bridge with your partner. This, of course, turns Lake of Love into an exceptionally romantic spot. Enjoy the scenery from the lake bridge, one of the benches along the lake, or stroll through the calm park and take amazing photos. Lastly, the most photographed location in Bruges is Quay of the Rosary. Everything looks like something straight out of a medieval tale, with buildings like castles touching the water, all perfectly maintained. At the end of the tour, your guide will drop you off at your accommodation.
