De kluis van Vrijhern is door zijn hoge ouderdom(1685)en authenticiteit een waardevol stuk religieus erfgoed. Ook vandaag nog vervult de kluis een functie als ontmoetingsplaats tijdens de wekelijkse mis elke zondag om 9u15 en in het cafetaria van 14u30 tot 18u30. Wij zijn ook gelegen in een uitgestrekt wandelgebied met startplaats van 3 gewone wandelingen en 1 interactieve wandeling.

The Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde

Reviewed By TheSGB

I've always loved Bruges as it was the first place I stayed when inter-railing as a student in the 90s with a backpack, some Belgian Francs in my pocket and a bunk bed in a youth hostel booked. What I remembered most was that it was Springtime and the daffodils at the Beguinage were stunning. Many years later I returned to Bruges last month with my boyfriend (his first visit) and I made sure to come in late March, hoping to catch the daffodils at their best. We got lucky...a beautiful sunny week and the Beguinage was a stunning as I remember. A beautiful, peaceful place to stroll around and reflect...even for a non-religious person like me. I could probably have done without the tourists who were doing a sexy, pouty photoshoot in mini skirt and thigh high boots (not sure this is quite the location!) but each to their own!

Graslei and Korenlei

Reviewed By N3899ACrolandb - Ferndown, United Kingdom

Just a short stroll from central St.Michaels Bridge along each side of the quay,the range of picturesque and architectural styles are most pleasing to the eye;take along with you a descriptive guidebook,( available from the Tourist Office),and you will find interesting details of the purpose and history of the various buildings (alternatively,take the half hour informative boat trip there- currently a modest €7!)

The architecture is so beautiful along this waterway, and there are also restaurants with great water views. You can walk on either side as well as take a boat cruise.

Vlaeykensgang

Reviewed By inhale-exhale321 - Switzerland, null

Take this little shortcut if you get the chance - and find the entrance. Once you enter the passage, all the city business and noise disappears. In summer you will find it a lovely cool spot and beautifully decorated with flowers and pot plants. Maybe come for lunch or dinner at the small hidden restaurant that serves local specialities.

Cogels Osylei

Reviewed By broekie53 - Antwerp, Belgium

The perfectly preserved Jugendstil and Art Deco houses in this street date from 1881 - 1914. Although it's not near the city center, it's certainly worthwhile to take a tram or to walk there if you want to take home some beautiful memories (and pictures) of Antwerp in one of it's many glory periods. Just a little over 100 years ago, this part of the city was still farmland; part of the Zurenborg estate of Baron Cogels-Osy. It used to be the most luxurious residential area for the rich in Antwerp.
