Wonderful experience climbing the belfort tower, the view from the top is magnificent. It is also nice to see all the bells, everything so well preserved. The hike to the top isn't that bad, there are opportunities to rest throughout. It is advisable to buy your tickets in advance as is a very popular tourist attraction. It's absolutely worth the climb. Highly recommended.

Climbing the Belfort Tower was one of the most memorable and fun experiences of our visit. This iconic bell tower, standing proudly in the heart of Bruges, dates all the way back to the 13th century! making it even older than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Knowing that we were walking inside a structure with such deep history made the climb even more special. The Belfort has 366 steps leading to the top, and while that might sound intimidating at first, the journey upward is absolutely worth it. When we first saw the sign warning that visitors should be in good health to climb, we felt a bit nervous. But once we began, we realized it was not too difficult at all! more like an adventure! The staircase is narrow and steep, so you occasionally have to pause to let people coming down pass by. These little breaks actually make the experience nicer, giving you a moment to catch your breath and take in the medieval atmosphere of the interior walls and beams. Halfway up, we reached the room housing the automatic bell system, which was fascinating to see up close. The giant drum mechanism that controls the bells is like something from another era , a perfect blend of art and engineering. When the bells start ringing, the sound is beautiful yet incredibly powerful, echoing through every stone of the tower. Finally reaching the top feels like a true reward. The panoramic view over Bruges is absolutely breathtaking, rows of red rooftops, winding canals, and the bustling market square below. Standing there, feeling the cool breeze and hearing the faint sound of bells, you truly understand why the Belfort Tower is such a beloved symbol of Bruges. It’s a climb one I’d recommend to anyone visiting this magical city.

It was a breathtaking view from the top. The climb was super easy and fun. You have to go all the way up 366 steps to see everything but it’s definitely worth it.

So so worth it. Great view and if you stay long enough you can hear the bells ringing. The walk up was not terrible, but it’s a lot of stairs. With mobility issues you’ll struggle. Gets tight near the top, but less scary than most of the towers we’ve climbed over the years in Europe. Read the info cards, they are super interesting. Has a lot of languages. Very cool story, and the views are killer. Make sure you get there an hour or so before you want to go up, tickets are sold in a small electronic kiosk inside the main door off the square on the left. Only so many tickets are sold per 40 minute chunk.

Amazing experience climbing to the top of the tower. Steep, narrow steps but worth it! Amazing view. The tower; from the ground, is amazing to admire, especially at night!

I recommend buying tickets online ahead of time or at the kiosk out front where you can select what time you want to visit. Otherwise you may have to wait a few hours. The climb to the top is quick, with several points of interest on the way. It’s unfortunate there is netting up to which obstructs your view and photos on the city. Also the cost at €15 is a bit extreme. €5-8 would be more reasonable

Absolutely stunning experience! Climbing the tower was one of the highlights of my trip. The panoramic views from the top are simply breathtaking — you get the perfect perspective of the city’s historic skyline. The exhibits inside are also really well done and give a fascinating glimpse into the tower’s history and the role of the bells. Don’t miss it if you’re in Brugge

My husband had previously visited here years ago with his best friend, so when we came to Bruges for a family day out, he was keen to bring us here, especially as I come from a brewing town. As the outdoor seating area was full, we found a table and although the rest of us stuck to soft drinks, my husband enjoyed reminiscing with a few beers. Lovely place to spend a few hours and there is a good shop too

Huisbrouwerij De Halve Maan in Bruges is a must-visit for beer lovers. The brewery has an incredible history and is still family-run, which makes the experience even more special. The tour is fascinating — not only do you get to learn about the brewing process in detail, but you also get to see their famous *beer pipeline* (“cerveceducto”) that runs under the city to connect the brewery with the bottling plant. The quality of their beer is outstanding, and tasting it fresh at the source is unforgettable. The staff and tour guides are excellent — knowledgeable, engaging, and very welcoming. The restaurant is also quite good, with hearty dishes that pair perfectly with their beers. That said, it’s a very popular spot, so it can feel a bit touristy and busy at times. Still, the overall experience is absolutely worth it — great beer, rich history, and a unique piece of Bruges culture.

Multiple friends (local and travel buddies) recommended this brewery as a must-visit. It did not disappoint. The unfiltered Belgian beers were stellar. The beer is piped in from the brewery 3.2km away. The vibe is chill and fun. Waiters are always circling around, checking on you. Definitely one of my favorite spots. I didn't get to try the food, but glancing at other peoples tables, it looked great too!

Really nice brewery with a great vibe! Always easy to find a spot, and the draft beer tastes fantastic. There’s a lovely outdoor area to sit and relax, and you can also join a brewery tour if you’re interested. Definitely worth stopping by for a pint (or two)!

The tour of the Brewery was okay.We didn’t really understand the English Guide,but it was acceptable.When you buy tickets for the tour you also get a beer that is not filtered and it’s natural.It was very good,I loved the new flavor!The food was pretty expensive for how it tasted.The beef stew made in beer was bitter,but the melon and prosciutto salad was okay..but pricey. After all it was a great experience..but not worth eating there.

The insightful guided tour gave details on beer processing and the unique tube transport method! The place shows the dynasty of the owners along history by having both very modern equipment and also keeping the old equipment highlighted in every corner as a reminder of their heritage.

We came here for the brewery tour and it was absolutely fantastic. Marie was very informative and super knowledgeable and entertaining. The beer here was amazing and served in interesting surroundings. Well worth it if you’re ‘in Bruges’

If you just looked at it from the outside, it’s kind of dark. It’s kinda old. It’s kind of scary. But inside, is a beautiful piece! Visiting the Basilica of the Holy Blood is a two-part experience. The lower chapel, dedicated to St. Basil, is a striking contrast to the upper one. It's a rare example of Romanesque architecture in the region, featuring a dark, somber atmosphere with heavy pillars and stone vaulting. Climbing the staircase leads you to the vibrant upper chapel, a dazzling display of colorful Gothic and Neo-Gothic art. This ornate space is breathtaking, with intricate stained glass windows, rich tapestries, and beautiful paintings. The main attraction is the revered relic of the Holy Blood, housed in a magnificent golden reliquary. The transition from the austere lower chapel to the glittering upper chapel creates a powerful and memorable journey.

It’s easy to miss the Basilica of the Holy Blood, as it’s tucked away in a corner of Burg Square. The basilica has two chapels: a lower chapel and an upper chapel. The lower chapel, dedicated to St. Basil the Great, is a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. The upper chapel is built in the Gothic style and was renovated in the 19th century, offering a stunning contrast to the simpler, historic lower level. Admission to both chapels is free, making it an accessible and rewarding stop. Adjacent to the basilica is a small museum (entrance fee €5) that traces the fascinating history of the chapel and the relic of the Holy Blood. In my opinion, this is an absolute must-see when visiting Bruges—a place where history, art, and spirituality come together in a remarkable way.

Visiting the Basilica of the Holy Blood was one of the most emotional and memorable moments of my trip. Nestled on the historic Burg Square, this church may look modest from the outside, but once you step inside, it reveals an atmosphere filled with reverence, history, and beauty that truly takes your breath away. I felt incredibly special and grateful to be there. to stand in such a sacred space and even take a quiet moment to pray for something deeply personal. The basilica consists of two chapels: the lower Romanesque chapel of Saint Basil the Great, built in the 12th century, and the upper Gothic chapel, which was later renovated in the 19th century with vibrant paintings and intricate decorations. The church is believed to house a precious relic of the Holy Blood of Jesus Christ, brought to Bruges from the Holy Land around 1150 by Count Thierry of Alsace after the Second Crusade. This relic is displayed in an ornate vial, and during certain times of the day, visitors can approach it closely to pay their respects or say a prayer. The interior is breathtaking, richly painted arches, colorful mosaics, and stained-glass windows that glow with biblical scenes when sunlight filters through. The details on the wooden ceiling and the patterns on the columns are exquisite; every corner seems to tell a story. I couldn’t help but feel humbled and moved, surrounded by centuries of faith and devotion. Even though it’s a popular site, people speak softly, adding to the peaceful, sacred feeling of the place. It’s not just a historical monument, it’s a space where you can truly feel a connection to something timeless and spiritual. Visiting this basilica was a profound and unforgettable experience.

This Basilica is amazingly calm and peaceful. Whether you’re religious or not, you can feel it in the ambience. The relic was on display at 12pm, after the 11AM mass downstairs. (My husband and I attended on a Wednesday.) The stuff are nice and friendly. You can take pictures of the Chapel but not of the relic. Come & pray, and be respectful. This is such a sacred place ❤️

They are two churches. One at the ground level and another one upstairs. You go up a spiral staircase to see the second one. They are right next to each other. Very beautiful church. They open around 10 am. Very old and gothic. There is a small museum inside. Church is free to enter but you need ticket for museum.

My family and me Visited from Florida, USA. The Basilica of the Holy Blood is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. It’s a stunning Roman Catholic church in Bruges that holds a relic of the Holy Blood, which makes the experience even more meaningful. A must-see when exploring the city!

This small basilica is located in Bruges, Belgium. It's claim to fame is the fact that it is alleged to house a vial of Christ's blood which is on display. The Church itself is beautiful with it's medieval decor. It can be regarded as an important stop for those interested in religious history.

De Burg is one of the oldest and most historically significant squares in Bruges, located just a short walk from the famous Market Square. Once the site of a fortified castle dating back to the 9th century, it became the political and administrative heart of the city. Today, De Burg is surrounded by a remarkable collection of architectural styles, reflecting Bruges’ long and rich history. Highlights include the City Hall (Stadhuis), a stunning Gothic building from the 14th century, the Basilica of the Holy Blood, which houses a relic believed to contain the blood of Christ, and the Old Civil Registry, a fine example of Renaissance architecture. The square’s peaceful ambiance, intricate facades, and historic significance make it a must-see for anyone visiting Bruges. De Burg offers a perfect blend of art, religion, and politics, representing the cultural and civic pride of this medieval city.

The paintings inside were beautiful, and the video showing the timeline of how the building was constructed and later expanded was very informative.

Very beautiful square one street over from Belfort. There is a small street that takes you to the canals.

Great place to visit and take in the atmosphere. Canel trip well worth a try. Food very pricey. Lack of toilets. Plenty of parking. Plenty of shops and you can fill a whole day.. Horse and cart rides 70e.

A charming historical square blending Gothic and Renaissance architecture, one of the most beautiful spots in Bruges. Home to the 15th-century Town Hall and the stunning Basilica of the Holy Blood. The lively atmosphere, street performers, and cozy cafes make it a perfect place to stroll, relax, and enjoy Bruges’ timeless beauty. 🏰✨

One of the big public squares showcasing the stunning Brugge architecture.

The main square in Brugge is absolutely stunning — full of history, charm, and beautiful architecture all around. Just walking through feels like stepping into a fairy tale. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants where you can sit, enjoy the view, and people-watch. It can get busy, but that’s part of the lively atmosphere. Definitely a must-see spot if you’re in Brugge!

This place is a true oasis of peace and quiet. It's incredible how you can be in a busy tourist area one minute, and then step through the gates into this serene and tranquil world. The noise and crowds just melt away. It's a beautiful, historic spot with its lovely white houses and tall trees. The perfect place to slow down, walk peacefully, and enjoy a moment of calm. A must-visit to experience a different side of Bruges.

Begijnhof in Bruges is a peaceful courtyard tucked behind a simple gate, offering a quiet serene walk through their gardens. It was originally founded in the 13th century as a community for Beguines lay religious women who lived together in devotion without taking formal vows like nuns. These women led independent lives, often working as nurses or teachers, and the Begijnhof gave them a safe and structured place to live. Today, the whitewashed houses and tranquil garden still reflect that sense of simplicity and reflection. A small chapel sits at the heart of the grounds, and swans drift quietly along the nearby canal. It is not just a historical site, it still houses Benedictine nuns.

came here twice, once on my own, then once as a tour group. -If you are in town for more then just a day trip, then i recommend coming in the morning, before 9am, its completely empty. After 9am the tours start and there is massive crowds as this is one of the closes "attractions" to the train station, so its a first stop for most walking tours. I even saw one of the 3 nuns still remaining in the morning. -Its interesting how the trees are all on a angle from the wind.

Beautiful, peaceful place to walk around away from the hustle of the tourist streets. There are signs to ensure you keep quiet and respectful of the area which helps the overall atmosphere.

Here is Part of the “Flemish Béguinages” (1998). I highly recommend to come here in early time around 9am. Although i was late, I really enjoyed being here. Check the history out below: It’s impressive! A Begijnhof was a community for Beguines—religious women who lived like nuns but without formal vows. Women here were often widows or unmarried from prosperous families, seeking a pious but independent life. Architecturally, it’s a quiet walled complex with white gabled houses, a church, and cobbled courts. Still home to Benedictine nuns today.

Beautiful spot Plus getting there is a lovely walk as well - nice seeing the swans and Minnewater Lake

800 years of Begijnhof Brugge. A magic place which opened more doors for the visitors during the events celebrating 800 years. It is a must as you visit Brugge.

Originally a water reservoir used to regulate canals feeding the city -period: Medieval origins. Legend says it was named after Minna, a young woman whose tragic love story symbolizes eternal devotion. The adjacent Minnewaterpark was once an industrial zone with warehouses and waterworks supporting Bruges’ port economy. What a beautiful greeting after getting off the train. The city road or amazing forest path takes you to the lake. I enjoyed a lot with the view and historical remains!

One of the most lovely spots in the city! Amazing place to walk and go have a drink or something to eat!

Probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been! Definitely worth getting g a guided tour for all of the wonderful stories. We had a guy called Jan I’m afraid I can’t remember the company we booked with but he was great!

Beautiful walk about on a good day.

Must visit if you are in Bruges for the serene and beautiful lake view with a legend. You can take beautiful shots in front of the lake. Legend has it that you can make your love eternal by kissing on the bridge or get your wish fulfilled by bringing a lock and putting it on the bridge.

This place is beyond beautiful. You must watch the #sunrise at this park.

Stroll in the beautiful and romantic Lake of Love in Bruges.

We went to Choco-Story with kids on a Sunday. The tour is a lot of up and down on stairs, so we had to part our stroller and carry the little one. There is a an elevator but not sure when it is used and it makes it possible to tour in a stroller/wheelchair. It was crowded so it was a bit hard to enjoy the various displays/interactive games etc. in the museum. There is an audio device provided which can be used to point at various points in the tour and listen to the information. The displays were interesting as it went through the various time periods of chocolate making chronologically. It also had an area which described the step-by-step chocolate making process followed in Belgium, but it would have been better to show things more physically than on a screen. There were various interactive games which adults and kids could play which was great, but a few of them were not easy to use properly or were not working. There is some chocolate to taste in the end (each type: dark, white, milk, amber) and also if you are able to time it correctly, some live chocolate that's made in front of you. The chocolate figures in the end were nice to see. Overall, an interesting tour which could have been even better with a little less crowd and a little more chocolate making.

wonderful spot for chocolate enthusiasts, offering plenty to see, taste, and learn. The experience is rich in flavour and history, making it a treat for the senses. However, be prepared for lots of stairs throughout the visit—something to keep in mind if you’re bringing small children or anyone with mobility concerns

Seriously overpriced and poor museum. Was a running joke of the weekend how poor this museum was. 100% a tourist trap. Only redeeming factor was some free chocolate buttons at the end of the museum and that there a couple of models made from chocolate. Entry should be €4-5 euros max. Even the chocolate isn’t made locally. Might be half decent for kids. All the artefacts in the museum are fake. You get given an audio guide to go around listen too.

This was a good museum, but it’s not cheap. Overall, for me, it just about represents value for money. We arrived right on opening at 10am, when there was already a large number of people waiting. The slightly chaotic opening was hampered by a large group being ushered through ahead of everybody. There are some interesting facts about chocolate that I learned from the Museum and it took us just over an hour to get everything we wanted from our visit.

Decent experience, a bit pricey. Don't have many demonstrations & you can't smell the chocolate like I'd expect. Great to learn about the history of Belgium chocolate & interactive features throughout the museum.

The chocolate here is delicious, and the visit is both fun and educational. It’s very interesting to learn about the origin of cocoa beans and the chocolate manufacturing process. A great experience for anyone who loves chocolate.

At the end they show how basic chocolate is made and you get to eat some for free. The thingies you use to go around with the audiobook don’t work perfectly, sometimes you need to swipe across four times before it works but they have fun little mini games you can play as you go room through room and collect points!! If you take a photo at the end, give them your email otherwise you won’t get it, the people in front of us apparently didn’t notice A Bit inaccurate about how everything between Hernan Cortez and Moctezuma went down tho

Finally, I made it to Bruges! This magical little town has been on my bucket list forever, and being there felt like stepping into a fairytale. The cobblestone streets, charming canals, and storybook buildings were even more beautiful in person. I spent hours just walking, exploring quiet corners, sipping hot chocolate, and enjoying the crowd. The same taxi driver who picked up from the train station, was the same one to drop us too hahaha it was a funny story behind it .. but it made a good ending of a raining day there. It’s one of those places that stays with you. I’m so glad I finally made it, and I already know I’ll be coming back!!

Really enjoyed the interactive nature of the Historium. The Virtual Reality experience was a fun addition that made you feel like you were actually sailing into the old port. Also, the view from the Historium Tower is one of the best spots to see the whole Market Square. Great value for the full experience.

A top place to visit when in Bruges, great for families, couples and individuals alike. The facility and concept is just fantastic and is executed with precision. Take a moment, whilst on the tourist trail, to step I side this venue and learn about the historical Bruges and what an economical and political centre it was in the middle ages. Great staff, the VR part is a part you will not want to miss and access to the upper balcony, you will have some of the finest views out onto the Grote Market. I hope this continues to enjoy the success it deserves and help us appreciate how and why Bruges became the aesthetically pleasing city it is.

A fantastic experience in the heart of Bruges! The Historium blends storytelling, multimedia, and virtual reality to take you back to the 15th century. You follow the journey of Jacob, an apprentice of painter Jan van Eyck, through beautifully designed rooms that recreate medieval life with sights, sounds, and even scents. The VR experience is a real highlight — flying over historical Bruges was breathtaking. It’s well-organized, family-friendly, and engaging without being too long (about 1 to 1.5 hours). The optional tower visit also gives you a great panoramic view of the city. It’s not a traditional museum with ancient artifacts, but more of an immersive experience — perfect if you enjoy interactive history. Slightly pricey, but worth it for the quality and creativity. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Bruges for the first time!

Historium Brugge was such a fun experience and a highlight of our visit to Bruges! It’s right on the Markt (main square), so it’s super easy to find and makes a great stop between other sights. They offer a few different packages, and we chose the one that included both the Story and the VR experience. The VR part was one of the better virtual reality experiences we have tried. The storytelling experience takes you through a fictional tale set in 15th-century Bruges. You walk through beautifully designed rooms that recreate the atmosphere of that era, with clever effects and great attention to detail. The story itself is lighthearted, which we appreciated—when you’re traveling, you don’t necessarily want heavy drama! I won’t give away any spoilers, but the way each room is set up and transitions into the next was impressive. We especially liked the special effects in a couple of the rooms. The staff were all very friendly, and the whole place was clean, well organized, and easy to navigate. The visit took about an hour, which was perfect. There’s also a lovely beer hall with a balcony that overlooks the main square—a perfect spot to relax after your visit. All in all, Historium Brugge is a great experience—family-friendly, beautifully designed, and absolutely worth trying if you’re in the city.

Where do I start? What even is this place and who is it for? The VR part was solid--would recommend. The next part was these 9 rooms where you follow the most boring story. Like who wrote this and why? It was so bad. The 9 rooms felt like the line for a Disney ride, yet you get to the end and there's no ride. At the end, there's a cool view and beer tasting room. However, the expensive ticket didn't even include a beer sample (at least, if it did, it wasn't posted). Super lame experience. I really just don't get why anyone would want to see this! Do the VR and skip the rest!

Excellent experience, the tower is cool, you can skip the vr experience, buy do not skip the themed rooms with the cool story. Worth the price.

Stepping inside this church is an awe-inspiring experience. The scale of the architecture is simply breathtaking, with soaring ceilings and a real sense of historic grandeur. The church is filled with incredible works of art, from masterpiece paintings to intricate sculptures. The stained-glass windows are particularly beautiful, filling the space with colored light and creating a truly peaceful atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates history, art, and stunning architecture.

Amazing artwork - paintings, exquisitely carved wooden pulpit and confessionals and the treasure of Bruges, Madonna and Child. Worth every penny to get into the paid area. Even if you are not strongly religious, the artwork is awe inspiring and worth it for the history and the beauty.

Beautiful church. Peaceful when you visit. Nice well maintained architecture. No ticket needed. Good place to take photo of whole church are on the museum close by. Enjoy !

Its 115.6 m tower is one of the tallest brick buildings in the world. Period: 13th–15th century Houses the famous Michelangelo’s Madonna and Child (ca. 1504), one of the few Michelangelo sculptures to leave Italy during his lifetime. Also contains the elaborate tombs of Mary of Burgundy and Charles the Bold, pivotal Burgundian rulers.

This is a must-see see church when visiting Bruges. The church is famous for housing a Michelangelo sculpture of Madonna with child. Entrance into the church is free but you have to purchase a ticket to view the sculpture. The church tower is the tallest structure in the city and 3rd tallest brick tower in the world. Take time to admire the flying butresses that support the massive tower.

Beautiful church. It’s open to public but if you want to go see the museum you have to pay for it. Very big and gothic.

This is one of Bruges’ most iconic landmarks and a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Its soaring brick tower, reaching 115.5 meters (379 feet), is the tallest structure in Bruges and one of the tallest brick towers in the world. Construction began in the 13th century and continued for two centuries, resulting in a harmonious blend of architectural styles. The church is especially famous for housing Michelangelo’s Madonna and Child, the only one of his sculptures to have left Italy during his lifetime. Inside, visitors can also admire ornate altarpieces, medieval tombs of Burgundy nobility, and beautiful stained-glass windows. The tombs of Charles the Bold and Mary of Burgundy are particularly noteworthy for their historical and artistic significance. The Church of Our Lady is both a spiritual sanctuary and an artistic treasure, offering insight into the religious and cultural richness of medieval Bruges.

Wow. Great conversation. Staff is fantastic here, all around conversation about beer, bourbon and Rum. About 14 beers on tap, you can select 4 for 10 euro. Cornet was refreshing even when it was oaky beet similar to bourbon. Stop by if you want to have great chat and decent amount of local beer.

Did not have time to fully explore this wonderful and joyful beer museum. Just went upstairs to the beer testing area to take pictures. Staffing was very nice and allowed me to taking photos! If God permits me to visit Burgers again, I’ll be happy to visit the museum again!

Interesting experience walking through the museum. Ended with a beer tasting. 16 beers on tap .. tried 3. A bit limited in choice. But for a non-beer drinker, left with a bit more of an appreciation for the different flavours.

Awesome experience! Learned a lot about how they make beer and the craft that goes into it. They also give you a couple of sample tokens to try some. Highly recommend if you’re in Bruges!

There was a very large variety of beer selections and every single one that we tried was delicious. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming (shoutout Aldo!!!) BONUS super friendly dog upon arrival!! 😍

A must-do activity if you're visiting Bruges, Belgium! An excellent experience: a beer and chocolate pairing for just €12 (they explain in detail how to do it, and the result is 10/10!). You can also visit the museum (at an additional cost) and learn about the history of beer and the thousands of brands that exist worldwide.

Amazing place and had an amazing time. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go back just to drink more of the beers they had.

Very nice art museum with an interesting exhibit about medieval books. Lacked a bit of variety because you can only see so many paintings of Jesus on the cross before it gets boring. The highlight for me the Boschs tryptic. Stunning. Overall for the price it was pretty good.

A museum of the history of Flamish art starting with the primitive artist until today. A must see in Bruges if only for the Jan van Eyck masterpiece! Very well organized, flows chronological from room to room, with good description for the period and the highlilighted pieces.

Lovely museums with very friendly staff and incredible collections. After a busy day enjoying Bruges with its beautiful canals and old buildings, this is such a nice and quiet escape from the crowd. It might not be as big as other big museums in Belgium but I still feel like it’s one of those that is worth to visit.

I had the best time visiting the Groeninge Museum today. Epic masterpieces and so many of the fun creepy depictions of demons from the renaissance art that keep you guessing. The audio guide was helpful and they have a great gift shop with postcards and trinkets from the collection. Would recommend if visiting Bruges!

A small yet truly remarkable collection of paintings. The staff were incredibly friendly and really enhanced the experience. The entire venue is laid out in a clear and logical manner, so you never feel confused or overwhelmed. It's simple to navigate through the exhibition and genuinely appreciate each piece without feeling drained. A fantastic place to view works by Flemish artists in a quiet, well-organized environment.

Must see in place in Bruges. Unique collection of medieval art from Flemish masters like: Bosch, Yan van Eyck.

Sizeable museum with a magnificent collection of mostly Flemish Medieval art. Very impressive, extending into 17 and 18th century paintings.

We love this place, second visit over the weekend after visiting originally in 2023. The beers are all excellent (I tried the flight), nice selection of snacks to pick at while you drink (meatballs recommended). Lovely spot outside by the water to watch the world go by as well! Will be back

Did the tour and had tasting after. It was nice little bit of fun - done loads of these before. Enjoyed it for what it was small and little quirky. Tasting after was good, also enjoyed pretzel and sausage. Was not 100 % sure on their whisky but it was only 3rd batch

Not immediately obvious to find despite being close to a main road but definitely worth a visit. Lovely terrace overlooking the river and a great selection of beers you can try with the flight. Looks like they do brewery tours and they also have a good shop at the front but purely from a bar perspective, well worth checking out

Pretty ok all around. I was not a huge fan of the beers, which may be classic styles but to me weren’t great executions. The food was fine too, better than nothing, the meatballs were microwaved. €16.50 for microwaved meatballs seemed steep.

Best brewery in whole Belgium. Not everybody knows, but you can go through the main area and sit outside near the canal. Fantastic wine and amazing beer

The Bourgogne des Flandres beer is simply delicious, fruity and easy to drink. The tour starts at The Bourgogne des Flandres shop and then it moves to the brewery itself. Recommend the beer flight to beer tasting after the tour.

Good place to get a flight of beers and sit by the canal. Sipping beer and watching swans and tourists go by. What else do you want? Much more is offered than just a flight of beers. There is a tour and food too.

Great way to learn about the history of torture! We spent a good 2 hours reading the information provided with the displays.

This collection is absolutely captivating, filled with lots of background info about the items and their stories. The price is reasonable, and you can easily spend about an hour checking it out. My main concern was the cramped space - when they allow too many visitors at once, it turns into a total bottleneck in front of each display. You can't move around, reading anything becomes a challenge, and you end up just shuffling from one piece to another, hoping someone will move aside. Nevertheless, the actual content is truly intriguing.

I visited both this museum and the wichcraft one, the cost was 12€ for both with a student ID. It is fun if you like morbid stuff like this, they don't have the best statues demonstrating but it is quite fun

Very nice to experience. We went to a torture museum in Amsterdam but this one is much better. Very educational with easy to read plaques that are detailed and informative. The wax sculptures are very life-like. We also received a student discount which made it even more worth the price of admission.

Fun and educational. Mannequins are great. Not a huge museum, takes about half an hour. Witchcraft museum which was attached was not worth the money at all, mostly just information written on the walls, hardly anything to look at.

A very interesting experience. I went in not really knowing what to expect; I was hesitant to begin with as I was unsure if the experience would be scary or not. It turned out to be quite the opposite, it wasn't scary at all. It was great getting to learn about all the different types of torture devices, some of which were unbelievably cruel and inhumane. This is definitely a very different museum, in a way though it's refreshing to see a museum take on a much darker subject that people deserve to learn more about.

Nice museum - bought a combined ticket with the museum of witchcraft

The building was beautiful and hard to bel it was a hospital in it's day. More like a church (part of it was a monastery and the hospital was 'staffed' by nuns 100s of years ago. A lot of the displays were of art pieces from the time with a some amount of info relating to the care of patients. Well presented, though and an audio guide was available. Purchased a ticket that included the apothecary.

Gorgeous old building featuring beautiful courtyard that makes you feel like you've been transported back to medieval times. The price is reasonable for the experience you receive. The exhibits are well-organized, and the stories behind them are really engaging - the hospitality theme and the layout of the exhibition guide you easily . And let's not forget the star of the place, Memling. The pieces are truly remarkable, and just the collection itself is worth the trip.

It is a medieval hospital in central Antwerp, founded in the 12th century. It cared for the poor, pilgrims, and travelers, and later evolved into a more structured medical institution. One of Antwerp’s oldest charitable institutions, showing how the city cared for the sick and poor in the Middle Ages. Played a key role in the development of healthcare in the city. Important for the architectural heritage, with remaining buildings reflecting medieval hospital life. Not only the architecture, but also monument near the entrance( you will see in the 4th pic) which makes you think that we as human always need to find the way to heal each other. It stirred me a lot!

we visited the museum with my family and we highly recommend it. the atmosphere is authentic - a bit depressing but we liked it. the whole areal is beautiful. visited both the hospital and the pharmacy and it was splendid.

We expected more a view of how the workings of a medieval hospital were. We got a beatifull collection of art connected to the medieval medicine and care of patients. It took us more than 3 hours to follow the exhibition

I had extremely high hopes for this museum but it felt a little too slick and contrived to me. The juxtaposition of the old and new immersive elements doesn't work for me.

A great place for a sick person whether young or old, male or female. It is mainly for small injuries..., too serious, it is always best to go to a persons own doctor but St. Johns for small serious stuff and The Regional for more major goings-on. Make good use of ones own doctor (have their practice improved) and allow them to send the patients to the best next-stage, medically
