Description
Ranked #1 Free Walking Tour in Bruges from Green Cats Tours Why there are no cats in Brugge? What is the biggest bill that was paid for a pair of Belgium fries? How the bell on the Belfry Tower connects with Nikola Tesla? What was the most influential guild in Medieval Brugge that functions until now? Why is the main tourist route lays through the Blind Donkey Street? :) Is the Basilica of the Holy Blood really has the relic of Blood of Lord Jesus Christ? Why the greatest city has become one day a ghost town with a dried channel, sodomy and Inquisition sneaking here and there in search of lost souls? You are about to learn answers to these questions and hear other mysterious and interesting stories about Bruges.. :)
