Historic Centre of Brugge (UNESCO/NHK)
Brugge is an outstanding example of a medieval historic settlement, which has maintained its historic fabric as this has evolved over the centuries, and where original Gothic constructions form part of the town's identity. As one of the commercial and cultural capitals of Europe, Brugge developed cultural links to different parts of the world. It is closely associated with the school of Flemish Primitive painting.

4K Brugge Historic centre - Belgium - Walking tour
Brugge historic centre in the summer of 2019 with its beautiful architecture and cobbled streets.
Recorded on a Dji osmo pocket.
An area of continuous settlement, the Historic Centre of Brugge has retained the original pattern of streets and places, canals, and open spaces. A very specific skyline of towers and taller civic buildings (such as the cathedral, the belfry and the churches) dominates the city.

Bruges, Belgium
Recorded July 20, 2011:
Bruges (Brugge in Dutch) is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is located in the northwest of the country. The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO and it is often referred to as the Venice of the North.
On my day trip here from Paris I spent the day walking around and seeing the sites of this beautiful city. I walked along the picturesque canals and visited the Church of Our Lady, Market Square, Burg Square and ended the day with a boat cruise through the canals of the city.

Tour with the Free Shuttle Bus in Bruges - Belgium 4K Travel Channel
The free shuttle bus in Bruges is very helpful. It runs every 20 minutes.
The central junction of the shuttles is Jan van Eyck Square. Here, one shuttle bus drives the long northern loop, the other one goes south. Many sights of the city are along the way. The southern loop proves for us to be particularly helpful since it represents a direct connection between the station and the center of the city.
As we wait for the bus at Jan van Eyck Square, a dog club passes by. The members walk their dogs together through the city. Except for a few exceptions, the dogs are only dachshunds.
The bus goes through the Wijnzakstraat, the Kraanplein, and through the Jakob von Ooststraat past the Municipal Theater, Royal City Theater, to the egg market.
Through the Geldmunstraat and Noordzandstraat, we reach the Concert Hall, Concertgebouw. From here we go directly to the train station.
On the way back, the route takes us along the barge path to Katelijnepoort, where a cargo ship is passing the swinging bridge.
The Katelijne stop is diagonally opposite the Academie Brugge DKO, an academy of fine arts and audiovisual arts. It is the ideal stop to visit the Godshuizen.
Via Mariastraat the bus reaches Simon Stevin Square.
Next stop is at the Hof van Watervliet in the narrow street Oude Burg. From there we continue via the Wollestraat to the market place, Grote Markt.
Through the Vlamingstraat and the Academiestraat, we get back to Jan van Eyck Platz.
We didn't take the northern loop due to lack of time.

Der kostenloser Shuttle Bus in Brügge ist sehr hilfreich. Er verkehrt im 20 Minuten Takt. Zentraler Knotenpunkt ist der Jan van Eyck Platz, an dem sich die Busse kreuzen. Einer fährt im Norden eine langgezogenen Schleife, der andere im Süden. Dabei werden viele wichtige Punkte der Stadt angefahren.
Besonders hilfreich erweist sich für uns die Südschleife, da sie eine direkte Verbindung zwischen dem Bahnhof und dem Zentrum der Stadt darstellt.
Als wir am Jan van Eyck Platz auf den Bus warten kommt ein Hundeverein vorbei, dessen Mitglieder einen gemeinsamen Spaziergang durch die Stadt unternehmen. Die Hunde sind bis auf wenige Ausnahmen nur Dackel.
Der Bus fährt durch die Wijnzakstraat, die Kraanplein durch die Jakob von Ooststraat am Stadttheater vorbei zum Eiermarkt.
Durch die Geldmunstraat und Noordzandstraat erreichen wir das Konzerthaus, Concertgebouw. Von hier aus geht es direkt zum Bahnhof.
Bei der Rückfahrt führt uns die Route über den Bargeweg zum Katelijnepoort, wo gerade ein Frachtschiff die schwenkbare Brücke passiert.
Weiter geht es in die Katelijnestraat, Die Haltestelle Katelijne liegt schräg gegenüber der Akademie Brügge DKO, einer Akademie im Bereich Bildender und Audiovisueller Kunst. Es ist die ideale Haltestelle um die Godshuizen zu besuchen.
Über die Mariastraat erreicht der Bus den Simon Stevin Platz. Nächster Halt ist der Hof van Watervliet in der Straße Oude Burg.
Von dort aus geht es über die Wollestraat zum Marktplatz Grote Markt.
Durch die Vlamingstraat und die Academiestraat kommen wir wieder zum Jan van Eyck Platz.
Die nördliche Schleife sind wir aus Zeitgründen nicht gefahren.

Bruges, Belgium - Belfry of Bruges (2018)
The Belfry of Bruges (Dutch: Belfort van Brugge) is a medieval bell tower in the centre of Bruges, Belgium. One of the city's most prominent symbols, the belfry formerly housed a treasury and the municipal archives, and served as an observation post for spotting fires and other danger. A narrow, steep staircase of 366 steps, accessible by the public for an entry fee,[2] leads to the top of the 83 m (272 feet) high building, which leans 87 centimeters to the east.
To the sides and back of the tower stands the former market hall, a rectangular building only 44 m broad but 84 m deep, with an inner courtyard. The belfry, accordingly, is also known as the Halletoren (tower of the halls).
The building is a central feature of the 2008 film In Bruges and is also mentioned in the novel Cloud Atlas.
Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium, in the northwest of the country.
The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares, including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (from Brugge aan zee,[2] meaning Bruges by the Sea). The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval in shape and about 430 hectares in size. The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008), of whom around 20,000 live in the city centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km2 (238 sq mi) and has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as the Venice of the North. Bruges has a significant economic importance, thanks to its port, and was once one of the world's chief commercial cities. Bruges is well known as the seat of the College of Europe, a university institute for European studies.
