The historic center of Bruges has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 thanks to its status as one of the commercial and cultural capitals of Europe and its enduring Gothic architecture. The Belgian city center is cited as a great example of a medieval historic settlement, even while it has evolved over the years.

From the old market square tour guides with a distinctive umbrella saying "free tours" offer 2-3hour walking tours. Usually they are locals who can provide an insight into life currently and historically.
