Tips

Hiking

For centuries, the Belfry, with the City Hall at its feet, has watched over Bruges. The building, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built between the 13th and 15th centuries. This iconic symbol of Bruges' power, prosperity, and freedom in the Middle Ages has been a recognizable landmark in the city's skyline ever since. 366 steps lead up to the bell chamber in the 83-meter-high tower. The tower is older than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Eiffel Tower, and Big Ben.
