About this experience
Bruges and Ghent are charming towns with a special allure. The Middle Ages left a strong imprint here: you will appreciate the ancient architecture, including the castle. You will admire the 'gingerbread' houses that seem to have come out of a colorful storybook. In both cities, you will have the opportunity to take a boat ride along the canals. I will share with you facts from the history of Belgium and ensure your comfort.
