A 30-minute drive from the port will bring you to lovely Bruges where your guided walk will start. Smaller and more contained than many other Flemish cities, Bruges makes it easy to believe you have entered a time warp. It is an exquisitely preserved medieval town-a jewel beribboned with picturesque canals. Your guide will walk with you through the narrow, twisting cobblestone streets, passing by picturesque scenes of ancient buildings, tree-lined canals and gabled façades. See the bustling marketplace, the Belfry Tower, the Town Hall and the Chapel of the Holy Blood. Belgium's finest export product is undoubtedly chocolate and you will learn why its longstanding reputation is well deserved. You can taste this yourself at 3 different chocolatiers. There are many differences between our chocolatiers, going from the classic pralines, to pralines filled with for example onion or bacon. Your free time will allow you to discover the city at your own pace or do some shopping. Finally, your guide will lead you past the romantic Lake of Love and back to your coach for the drive back to the ship.
