About Markt Bruges

The great medieval market square at the heart of Bruges — a vast cobbled expanse flanked by the 13th-century Belfry, guild houses, and a baroque post office, with the provincial government building closing one end. The Belfry's 366 steps reward climbers with one of Belgium's great views. Free to walk; Belfry has an entry fee.

Groeningemuseum

One of the finest collections of Flemish Primitive art in the world — Jan van Eyck's Madonna with Canon van der Paele, Hugo van der Goes, Hans Memling, and Gerard David all in a compact, beautiful museum in central Bruges. This is where Early Netherlandish painting was invented; the originals are extraordinary.
