Bruges self-guided audio walking tour

You'll discover Bruges with an audio tour that takes you through a city that was once one of the most powerful trading centres in Europe. During this self-guided walking tour, you'll walk past medieval façades, atmospheric squares, quiet alleys and historic canals, while hearing how merchants from Italy, Spain, England and Germany traded here in a city that was richer and more international than almost anywhere else in Northern Europe.Along the way, you'll discover how Bruges lost its wealth when the water that had made the city great slowly disappeared. The harbour silted up, the merchants left and the city fell silent. But that silence also preserved medieval Bruges in an exceptional way.With this audio tour, you can explore Bruges at your own pace, without a guide or group, while the stories behind the façades, bridges and squares bring this remarkable city to life.
