Stop At: Gruuthusemuseum, Dijver 17, Bruges 8000 Belgium
The palace of the lords of Gruuthuse has three beautiful turrets. These reflect the wealth of the family. The Gruuthuse family made a fortune by selling "gruut", a spice mixture which they used to make beer. In the 15th century "gruut" was replaced by hops. The family could still levy taxes on every barrel of beer that was sold in the city! This is obvious as we admire the beauty of the city palace!

Stop At: De Halve Maan Brewery, Walplein 26, Bruges 8000 Belgium
What you see here is "unlikely". Everybody is amazed when they see it for the first time! An "underground pipeline" takes the beer from the brewery to the bottling plant outside the city. What a great idea! Yes it helped to ban heavy trucks from the city center.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: The Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde, Begijnhof 24-28-30, Bruges 8000 Belgium
An oasis of silence surrounded by white houses. This remarkable piece of world heritage housed beguines, emancipated lay-women who led a devout and celibate life. Today the beguinage is inhabited by 5 nuns of the Order of St. Benedict and single women .
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, Mariastraat, Bruges 8000 Belgium
The Church of Our Lady dominates the skyline of the city. It is quite literally the ‘high spot’ of the stonemason’s art in Bruges.
