About this tour
A discovery walk through the quiet west of Bruges: from a guild chapel on the canal, past Blindekens and the almshouses of Boeveriestraat, to a little house on the ramparts and the Smeden gate. Collect three clues and find out to which church a votive candle is carried from here each year.
