Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Bruges, Bruges, West Flanders Province
From humble origins as a cloth-making center in the 1200s, Bruges has become a major tourist destination. Walk its cobblestone streets and cruise its canals, and you will know why.
The canal network and stately ornate houses mesh perfectly with a medieval charm that seems untouched by time. You will cruise the canals as part of this tour, which begins and ends at your hotel or residence in downtown Paris.
Not surprisingly, the old market area lies at the heart of Bruges, with its brick medieval Belfry Tower and 14th-century Town Hall. The spires of the belfry, Church of Our Lady and the cathedral, begun in the 1100s, still dominate the city’s skyline.
Art from the past to the present is another specialty, and visitors won’t want to miss the superb Groeninge Museum, although many museums house exhibits ranging from art and artifacts, to diamonds, artificial lighting and chocolate! Close to 50 shops specialize in Belgian chocolate, known the world over.
