    We will start at the Grote Markt. Perhaps one of the typical photos we have seen of the city. Standing here in the middle we see many of the things to visit in Bruges. But without a doubt our eyes will go to its bell tower, better known as Belfort as its name in Flemish and included in the list of World Heritage since 1999. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The site of the current Belfry of Bruges  was originally occupied by a wooden tower erected in 1240. The building housed the wool market and the associated warehouses. The tower also had an administrative function and housed the city archives. Climbing the 366 steps will reward you with a breathtaking view of Bruges and its surroundings. The price of the climb is \u20ac15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Provincial Hof (Provincial Council Building) is the other building that will catch your eye here on the square. Built in 1887, it was formerly the seat of the provincial governor, and later housed the Provincial Council until 1999. Admission is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If we continue turning in the square, we will see some colorful houses converted into restaurants and cafes, they are the guild houses of the seventeenth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the square we also find Historium Brugge<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. This museum offers a tour of the Middle Ages in an interactive way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The price is \u20ac25 for the full VR experience and exhibition, \u20ac12 to climb the tower to get the views and exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to get nice views I recommend you go up inside the same building to the brewery located on the first floor.<\/em><\/strong> Duvelorium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
