Bruges City Tour with Canal Ride Shore Excursion from Zeebrugge

This Zeebrugge shore excursion gives you the chance to see the highlights of Bruges while sampling typical foods from the region. You also get skip the line canal cruise tickets and a short amount of free time.

This tour includes a private transfer from the cruise pier in Zeebrugge into the city center of Bruges. When you arrive in Bruges you will meet your private guide for a 4 hour walking tour.

The highlight of any visit to Bruges is the Market Square, and your tour starts here. The iconic Market Square has been used as a marketplace since the year 958 AD. The square is filled with Gothic Revival buildings, the 83 meter tall Belfry tower, the famous Burg, rows of stepped facades, and outdoor cafes serving Belgian specialties and beer. Your tour guide provides detailed explanations about this beautiful square and its historic buildings. The square was pedestrianized in 1996 and has since become one of the most beautiful squares in Europe.

A stop to enjoy local beer and sausages is included in the walking tour, giving you another taste of Bruges. At another stop you enjoy the local fries, which are quite famous.

You will visit the Church of Saint Anne to see its striking baroque interior, tucked behind a plain Gothic exterior. Some of the other areas visited include Huidevettersplein and the Burg square, both filled with historic buildings. You enjoy a short visit to the fish market and then walk along the Dijver as you learn about some of the most important museums in the city.

Before finishing your walking tour there is also a stop at one of the best chocolate shops in the city, with a chance to sample before you buy. Fresh chocolate is a different experience than boxed.

At the end of the walking tour you say goodbye to your guide and then have free time for self exploration. Before saying goodbye, your guide gives you skip the line tickets for a canal boat tour. These popular boat cruises take you past some of the most picturesque settings in Bruges and are a must for any visitor to the city. At the end of your free time in Bruges, you go to your meeting point for the private transfer back to the Zeebrugge pier.
