About
Bruges forced its citizens to keep swans on the canals forever — all because they once imprisoned the wrong Archduke. This self-guided audio walking tour takes you through the stories behind those swans, a stolen golden dragon, a canal-side ghost house, and the origins of the phrase "piss-poor" and many more — all at your own pace, no group to follow, no fixed start time. Over 13 stops you'll walk from the Market Square to the Lake of Love, passing a leaning Belfry, a kidnapped sculpture, and Bruges' last family brewery with a beer pipeline running beneath the cobblestones. The app works offline so you can pause to pick up chocolate, eat some fries, or grab a canal-side beer whenever you like. And the best part, you can take as long as you need to capture those instagram-perfect photos without being herded along. Over 20,000 travelers have explored with our self-guided tours, and a full refund guarantee means there's nothing to risk.
