The Tour
Groupon's Guide To Bruges
Anderson Tours offers travellers a chance to visit one of Europe's most popular cultural destination. A historical town, defined by cobblestone streets and narrow canals, with well preserved medieval architecture, Bruges is a gathering point for European culture and art seekers. First thing on the list for visitors may be The Markt. Covering an area of almost one hectare, the market is filled with cafes and restaurants that harmoniously mingle with the medieval buildings. Shadowing all other buildings, the imposing clock-tower is one of the most important attractions in Bruges, offering a clear view of the whole city from its 83-meter peak. Further on, after wandering through the market, tourists may pay a visit to the Groeninge Museum and witness a bundle of Flemish artwork including two major paintings signed by Jan Van Eyck. In the south part of the city, surrounded by lush woodland, visitors will find Minnewater lake, more commonly known as 'the Lake of Love'. With swans and flowers found all around the place, the lake proves to be a truly romantic spot worth a visit by couples visiting the city.

With a bundle of market squares, medieval brick buildings and canals adding up to an eclectic atmosphere, Bruges makes for a leap through time into the Middle Ages of northwest Belgium.
The historic centre of Bruges has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as Gothic landmarks such as the Town Hall and The Church of Our Lady illustrate significant stages in the commercial and cultural fields in medieval Europe. The artistic heritage is present throughout Groeninge Museum, housing six centuries of Flemish and Belgian painting, while the Bruges Art Route may be the star of a cycling tour through the city's growing collection of paintings, sculptures and works-in-progress. Visitors with a sweet tooth will find chocolate-filled display windows all over town, and the Choco-Story provides an insight into the history and making of this cocoa treat.
