This three-day itinerary covers the historic centre of Bruges, its main museums and beguinage, plus canals and windmills. It begins with the Markt and Burg squares, moves to museums and the Princely Beguinage on day two, and ends with a canal tour, brewery visit and windmills on day three. The order starts in the centre and works outward to the edges of the city.
Three days covers the main sights at a steady pace. Walk between the center locations and reserve the brewery tour slot online the day before.
