About Bruges
Bruges (Brugge) is the most perfectly preserved medieval city in northern Europe and one of the most visited historic cities in the world — a Flemish canal city whose extraordinary concentration of Gothic, Flemish Renaissance and Baroque architecture, its network of brick-lined canals, its medieval market halls and church towers, and its almost complete circuit of ancient walls and windmills survived the wars of the 20th century essentially intact. The city's UNESCO World Heritage historic centre — inscribed in 2000 — is one of the most complete surviving examples of a late medieval commercial city in existence, its character shaped by the wealth of the Flemish cloth trade and the Hanseatic merchants who made medieval Bruges the commercial capital of northwestern Europe.
Bruges's Groeningemuseum houses the finest collection of Flemish Primitive paintings in the world — Jan van Eyck's Madonna with Canon van der Paele (1436, the supreme example of early Netherlandish realism), Hans Memling's masterworks, and Hieronymus Bosch's Last Judgement panel are among the supreme treasures of Flemish art. The Belfort (Belfry, 83 metres, 366 steps) gives the finest panoramic view over the city's red rooftops and medieval towers. The Groeningemuseum, the Memling Museum in the Hospitaal Sint-Jan (the most complete surviving medieval hospital in Europe, still housing its original Memling altarpieces in situ), the Church of Our Lady with Michelangelo's Madonna and Child (the only Michelangelo sculpture to leave Italy during his lifetime), and the Begijnhof (a 13th-century beguinage still housing Benedictine nuns, UNESCO World Heritage) make Bruges one of the most rewarding concentrated heritage destinations in Europe.
Important Transfer Information
Flemish Primitive Masterpieces: The Groeningemuseum in Bruges houses the most important collection of Flemish Primitive paintings in the world — Jan van Eyck's Madonna with Canon van der Paele (1436), Gerard David's Judgment of Cambyses, and Hieronymus Bosch's Last Judgement panel are among the defining works of early Netherlandish painting. The Memling Museum in Sint-Jan Hospital preserves Hans Memling's altarpieces in the original chapel for which they were painted — one of the most moving in-situ art experiences in Belgium.
Canal Boat Tours: Bruges's canal network — the system of waterways that gave the city its 'Venice of the North' designation — is best experienced from the water on the 30-minute canal boat tours departing from five embarkation points in the historic centre. The view from water level of the brick-arched canal bridges, the rear façades of medieval guild houses and the reflections of church towers is the quintessential Bruges experience.
