Meeting point

Please meet in the main square (Grote Markt) of Bruges. Your guide will wait for you by the statue in the middle of the square with a red umbrella. During the Christmas Market (25 Nov – 8 Jan), we meet in front of the Bruges Beer Experience at the corner of the main square, next to the Belfry. Look out for the guide with the red umbrella. Remember: if it’s not red, it’s not legendary!
