★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 595 reviews · 1 day · from $30Our pick

At Bruges’ Historium on Market Square, follow Jacob, a young apprentice of Jan van Eyck, through a film-led medieval story, interactive exhibits, and a VR voyage over Bruges in 1435. Your ticket includes audio guides in 10 languages, lockers, and wheelchair access. The tower requires a separate ticket.

“A great combination of history, views of Bruges and the central market, entertainment and a beer option at the end. Offers a good guide to the history of Bruges without being over the top. We paid the few extra euros for the full trip to the top of the tower which offered 360 views. Good value.”
