Brief descriptions of  top attractions can be obtained by clicking on the list below. Most of these will be visited during the "Discover Bruges" program. One may argue about the items on the list, but the selection has been made, and the descriptions have been written, from the perspective of the scientist. We recommend reading first the brief history of Bruges.

There is of course a wealth of tourist information available on Bruges, also on Internet. We have compiled some websites you may want to visit.
