About this experience
Choose a surprising walk full of passion and secrets. Bruges may seem romantic, but behind its medieval facades are piquant stories. We discover how love and lust were part of life, between model and painter but also in the monasteries. What were those forbidden desires? Along the way, we let ourselves be seduced by artisanal chocolate – because flavors also tell their own story of seduction and passion.

Stop 1
On the Market square in Bruges you'll hop in for a carriage ride. This is the place where the coachmen wait. The square is surrounded by many colorful houses with stepped gables. This square is located in the heart of the historic city center. On the south side of the square is one of the most famous monuments of the city, the 12th-century Belfry. Ride along this impressive tower while marveling at the imposing Provincial Court and the old post office while sitting in the carriage.
2
The Chocolate Line is a surprising shop with prolines made with pure cocoa butter but also chocolate lipstick that you can apply to the lips for a playful, tasty look! Their edible massage cream enriched with cocoa and almond oil not only provides a sensual touch, but also nourishes and relaxes the skin with every use!
3
What a view! The canal and the house of a Spanish nobleman with a weeping willow. It is the ideal spot for an unforgettable photo. Rosary beads were once sold here. Today it offers one of the best views in the city.
4
The boatman named this bridge the kissy kissy bridge. It's a romantic spot indeed! Take in the charming canal and the wooden houses along this tiny bridge and build memories! It dates back to 1910 but blends into the historic surroundings so well! It's like a fairy tail!
5
This city palace is amazing. Above the door we see Louis of Gruuthuse, a knight. He was a member of the order of the Golden Fleece. This can still be seen above the impressive entrance gate.
6
In the small shop you will find a showcase full of homemade pralines, chocolates and chocolate creations, all prepared with the utmost care. And here you can taste!
7
Finish with a coffee at Jan van Eyckplein. Enjoy with a view over the Spiegelrei., once the old port of Bruges.
