   Before DE became one DE the city’s cultural sites, this huge building, nestled in an inner courtyard, was the palace of the lords Gruuthuse, the most famous of which remains Louis de Bruges.

4. Boniface Bridge

   This place, far from being out of proportion, is nevertheless a must DE the city, whose main Attraction is none other than the charming little stone bridge EN spanning the canal.

   It’s on more country DE notes that our next stop definitely takes us away from the bustle of the city center.

8. De Vos Almshouse (Godshuis de Vos)

   As if fading into the urban landscape, we find here and there these small groups DE houses so typical DE Bruges.

9. Almost magically appearing on our way, this small building DE pure Flemish style, close to Minnewater Park, is simply an old lock house.

16. Friet Museum

    And yes, as everywhere EN Belgium, we are not laughing with fries! This monument DE 1399, one DE the oldest in the city, was known as the “Genoese Lodge”. Originally a central office DE shops in Genoa, it is now a completely different function that makes the site lively.
