City walking tour in Bruges and surroundings
Back to the City Walking Tours City Walking Tour 3 – Cosmopolitan Bruges
The earlier cosmopolitan cityscape, the glory of the economically thriving Bruges of the 14th and 15th centuries: the 'Burg' (city castle square), the centre market square, the "Vlaming" street (The street of the Flemings), the "Academie" street, the "Jan van Eyck" square, the Wednesday market square, the "Natives of the east" square (Eastern Europe), the Saint Gillis church, the Augustinian waterway, the Saint James Church, the court household "Bladelin", the "Kuipers" (vat makers) street and the Egg Market all in search of the links to the European presence from afar in Bruges at the time.
This walking tour allows you to see the beating economical medieval heart of Bruges. Bruges, the city that brought northern and southern Europe together in its city walls, along the way silent witnesses from the past tell the story of the local money exchange and you sense the thriving and busy neighbourhood of the past and the present though today perhaps the emphasis lies more on the cultural exchange.
