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.

Schön flexibel ans eigene Tempo anpassbar, egal wieviele Pausen, egal an welchem Tag, egal wieviele Stationen. Man kommt gut rum, aber ich fand’s nicht besonders übersichtlich und habe nicht gefunden, wie man ggf. nochmal zurückspringen kann um die Texte nochmal zu lesen… Ansonsten war ich zufrieden!

De puzzeltocht brengt je langs 10 highlights van de stad Brugge. Het is een leuke manier om de stad te bekijken, je hoeft vooraf geen routes uit te stippelen want dat is voor je gedaan. Soms liggen de punten onlogisch ten opzichte van elkaar. Van mij had de route nog wel wat langer gemogen met meer tussenstops en info over de gebouwen, we waren binnen 2 uur klaar.

Die Rätsel waren sehr einfach und hatten teils keinen direkten Bezug zu den Orten. Man hat eine Tour an den wichtigsten Orten entlang, mehr aber letztlich auch nicht. Der Spielfaktor hält sich in Grenzen.

Dank dieser Tour haben wir die schönsten Plätze in Brügge entdeckt. Wir haben uns viel Zeit gelassen, wir sind in die Geschäfte zwischen den Stationen gegangen, haben lecker gegessen und die traumhafte Stadt genossen. Die Rätsel waren ohne Hinweise oder Hilfe sehr gut zu lösen. Es wäre für die Kinder schön gewesen, wenn an der letzten Station eine Kleinigkeit (Lolly/Bonbon/Schokomünze/Postkarte o.Ä.) auf sie gewartet hätte. Als eine Art Belohnung- denn das ist eigentlich der Sinn einer Schnitzeljagd. Wir würden diese Art von „Stadtführung“ auch in anderen Städten buchen.

Das war eine gute Möglichkeit, die Kinder (11 und 13 Jahre) zum Sightseeing zu motivieren. Die Informationen und Rätsel hatten dann aber noch etwas kurzweiliger sein können… die Kinder haben sich gegen Ende dann doch ein bisschen gelangweilt. Die Idee ist aber toll und wir würden das in einer anderen Stadt gerne wieder machen.

Leuke route langs alle bezienswaardigheden ondanks de inmense drukte nog wel veel kunnen zien. Route helaas niet helemaal kunnen afmaken omdat de parkeertijd afliep (4uur). Zeker de moeite waard om te doen. Prijs pp is wel aan de dure kant, als 1 iemand de route app ook heeft kun je nmi ook prima met een groep lopen. De raadsels/puzzels zijn niet moeilijk onderweg en bij drukte rondom het gebouw is het ook niet leuk om de puzzel op te losse / op zoek te gaan. Verder leuk om te doen en zo meer van een stad te zien!
