Creating a tourist itinerary for Bruges is easy, thanks to the city's traditional medieval layout. It is shaped like an oval, with two large squares connected by a network of narrow streets and canals. The main attractions are concentrated around these squares, forming the primary pedestrian routes of Bruges. Typically, a walk through the historic part takes about half an hour on average.
Walking routes in Bruges usually commence from the Market Square (Grote Markt) and the Belfry Tower, which gained worldwide fame after the movie "Lie Low in Bruges." Climbing 366 steps to a height of 86 meters allows you to take in the entire city in one sweeping view. The square itself is fascinating with its diverse architectural styles.
