Take a break from all that walking and take a peaceful horse and carriage ride through Brugge, complete with a short history lesson on the city. In the heart of Grote Market, carriages are lined up for you're pleasure. The ride lasts about 35 minutes and covers side streets, residences, and the main attractions. All carriage drivers speak at LEAST four languages, so communication shouldn't be a problem. The ride cost 30€ for the two of us and was a great way to see the city and get a waffle for a snack on our break. The ride takes a 5-minute break halfway through so the horse can eat, and there's a great waffle place right down the way from where you stop. We had a strawberry one and a chocolate one. YUM! My husband asked our driver about the wages in the city, and she said the "normal" wage is about 900€ a month. She told us that the CUTE little houses you see on the tour run about 500€ a month, so they're considered very expensive for the average person.
The tour includes the Chapel of the Holy Blood, Minnewater, Belfry Tower, the canals, a brewery, The Church of Our Lady, and the statues of the four horsemen, only three of which are still standing, as one was damaged when a tree fell on it during a storm. This is a beautiful city, and a carriage ride is a great way to cover a lot of ground. Then you can go back to your favorite places afterward. I suggest doing the ride FIRST before heading out on foot. It makes it easier to plan your walking tour.
