Explore the attractions of Bruges Scavenger Hunt and Self Guided Tour
Bruges is an attractive city of medieval streets and elegant swans. However, there are much more Bruges things to do than just sighting unique birds and walk here. Let’s have a look at the best attractions below :
Jan Van Eyck Square – starting point of Bruges Scavenger Hunt
Jan van Eyck’s statue location is in the square with the same name. This statue is placed here as a memorial to the school of art’s best-known exponent. However, this small square is a big tribute to Jan Van Eyck.
However, besides seeing this statue, you can also spend some quality time at this square while wandering around to see the buildings from the 13th and 14th centuries.
De Burg Square
De Burg is the historic administrative heart of the city, home to the stunning Gothic Town Hall and the Romanesque-style Basilica of the Holy Blood. This grand square showcases over a thousand years of architectural evolution, standing as a majestic testament to Bruges’ rich political and religious heritage. It’s also a great place to enjoy waffles.
Belfry of Bruges
The belfry is one of the top Bruges things to do. It was the city’s central hub. And surprisingly, it still buzzes with life because locals and tourists alike mingle between street performers, shops, and horse-drawn carriages.
Overall, being a prime photo spot and plenty of old buildings, the belfry is a must-visit place in Bruges.
Bonifacius Bridge
It is the most photogenic bridge of Bruges. Even though it is the youngest one here, still sums up the entire city perfectly. Abundantly fabulous and romantic views and mysterious atmosphere here worth your attention. Here you can gaze at little yet peaceful canal view and half-timbered houses to enjoy some amazing time.
One of the most instagramable points of Bruges Scavenger Hunt!
Sint-Salvatorskathedraal
This cathedral is situated in one of the major shopping streets of Bruges. Most amazingly, this Cathedral will cost you nothing to step inside. You can stay a little inside this huge worship place to have inside peace.
Nepomucenus Bridge
Nepomucenus Bridge is a small historic stone bridge in the heart of Bruges, named after Saint John of Nepomuk, the patron saint of bridges. Dating from the 18th century, it offers a peaceful canal view and is one of the charming hidden spots often discovered while exploring the city on foot.
Church of Our Lady Bruges
One of the oldest Bruges churches whose construction started in 1220. Furthermore , the church took 200 years to complete, but its architecture is still very impressive. Delightfully it’s completely free to wander around this church, and it’s definitely worth your visit.
Municipal Theater
The Municipal Theater of Bruges, also known as Stadsschouwburg, is a beautifully preserved 19th century neo Gothic theatre located in the city center. Opened in 1869, it remains one of the oldest working theatres in Belgium and hosts concerts, opera, theater performances and cultural events throughout the year.
Rosary Quay
Rosary Quay is perhaps the most photographed spot in the city, offering a breathtaking view where the Groenerei and Dijver canals meet. Its historic brick buildings and the distant belfry tower reflecting in the water create a timeless scene that perfectly captures the medieval charm of Bruges.
Choco-Story, Chocolate Museum – ending point of Bruges Scavenger Hunt
Choco-Story, Chocolate Museum is a fascinating destination where you can dive into the 4,000-year history of cocoa, from the Aztecs to the modern Belgian masters. The museum offers live chocolate-making demonstrations and delicious tastings, making it a sensory journey through the heart of Bruges’ most famous tradition.

Le site propose le prix « à partir de 6,50€ par personne », j’ai dû payer 13€ malgré le fait que je sois seule. Ce n’est pas correct je trouve. Le jeu est assez simple et plutôt rapide, je le pense vraiment chouette a faire avec des enfants.

het was een toffe en leerzame wandeling. je ziet de mooiste plekken van brugge. Het duurde soms wel efkes tegen dat we de vraag snapten maar 1 keer dat we het doorhadden ging het als een lopend vuurtje. 1 tip: doe dit niet met een rolstoel. de kasseien in brugge maken het echt wel uitdagend om dit te doen.

Es war eine schöne Tour durch Brügge. Wir haben viele Dinge gesehen, die man als normaler Touri vllt nicht sieht. Leider ist Brügge eine sehr hektische Stadt. Da wir unter der Woche dort waren, gab es auch viel Verkehr in der Stadt. Lkw’s, Busse und vor allem Rad- und Rollerfahrer trüben die schönen Eindrücke.

La verdad es que es sencillo pero entretenido, nosotros lo tomamos como una guía para conocer los puntos históricos de interés y no tanto por el juego como tal. Por el precio que pagas, vale mucho la pena, la aplicación es sencilla de manejar.

Chouette activité, pas trop longue. Il aurait été préférable d’avoir une application à télécharger sur le GSM plutôt que de devoir faire le jeu sur une page internet car on a dû souvent se reconnecter. Je me demande pourquoi avoir dû payer pour 4 personnes alors qu’on n’a utilisé qu’un seul GSM.

A great way to explore Bruges on our own! Cracking the codes at each of the location to reveal the history of the site was fun and navigating to the next site meant we could meander through the city taking in its charm. Would definitely recommend as an alternative to guided walking tours!

Via een website hebben we met onze gsm de mooie, interessante route gelopen. De vragen waren erg leuk. Niet te moeilijk. En een prima manier om de prachtige stad Brugge in 1 middag te ontdekken. We waren met 2 volwassenen, 2 kids van 16 en 13 en onze jack russel. Onderweg gestopt bij het Chocolademuseum. Ruim een uur binnen Heel leuk! Het frietmuseum viel tegen. Geen aanrader. De hond kon bij beiden niet naar binnen, maar even wachten is geen probleem. Op korte afstand genoeg te zien. Een rondje per paard en koets was een leuke toeristische toevoeging. We gaan deze manier vaker gebruiken voor een stadstrip!
