A romantic and
individual tour in the heart of Bruges' medieval centre along the
canals, over the typical small bridges on the rhythm of the horse's
trot. The coach-driver explains the city to you, and halfway the trip,
the horse is getting a rest at the Beguinage where you can descend.
A typical way to discover the real Bruges, where you see picturesque
corners, several famous museums and most of the historical sites.
The meeting point for
the carriages is the Market square. (Departure on Wednesday: Burg
Square).There are no carriages when arriving? This simply means they
are all still running.
Price per carriage (Max. 5 Adults) ± 35 Minutes (€35.00)

Do the Boat trip Brugge-Damme-Brugge |
|
Enjoy
a trip by paddle steamer from Bruges to the charming city
Damme. Approximately 35 minutes each way with possibility to
visit Damme at leisure. Several departures daily from
April to September. Bikes allowed on the boat.
Making Bruges the home base and
taking day trips is a great idea. For a do-it-yourself trip visit
Damme, a pretty and historic village, is less than five miles from
Bruges.
This marvellous village has
wonderful monuments including the 1464 Stadhuis, which houses a
museum dedicated to the art and literature of the anti-Spanish hero
Tijl Uilenspiegel. The Zeevaart Museum is also worth a visit. The
museum houses models of boats, furniture and pottery.
And last but not least... climb the
tower of the church of Our Lady and enjoy the wonderfull panorama.
On a clear day one can see the harbour in Zeebrugge, the towers of
Bruges, ....
