Handmade in Bruges walking tour
Many monuments, streets, and squares in Bruges bear witness to the mastery of artisans from the past. But even today, many artisanal creators are active in the city. HANDMADE IN BRUGGE puts them on the map and shows you the way!
This tour is designed as a lovely walk through a surprising part of Bruges. Walk the entire route or pick out the stops that interest you. You can pop into some of the workshops/shops if they’re open.
Got plenty of time? Be sure to check out a museum along the way (free for Bruges residents!). They’re marked on the route with EXTRA, so you can skip them if you’d like. Be sure to take a break for a Bruges beer, a coffee, or a tasty snack! These stops are marked with TASTING.
