Bruges Old Town Highlights Shore Excursion from Zeebrugge

This is our most popular Zeebrugge shore excursion, and once you reach the charming town of Bruges you will understand why. You enjoy a walking tour, skip the line canal cruise tickets, and some 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 3 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.

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.

During the walking tour your guide includes a stop to sample Belgian chocolate, which is famous around the world. You may think you have tasted it before, but fresh chocolate is much better than boxed.

At the end of the walking tour you say goodbye to your guide and then have free time for lunch and 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.

During your free time you should sample the local beer and waffles. At the end of your free time in Bruges, you go to your meeting point for the private transfer back to the Zeebrugge pier.
