    We had an excellent time celebrating our anniversary. The tour guide, Juliana, was very informative, witty and clearly knowledgable. We were not expecting a tour experience as we left Brussels on the coach - wonderful addition to the Bruges tour. We did feel it would have been great to have a little more info about the tour beforehand (able to leave items on bus, need for cash at toilets etc) as this would have made our experience that little bit more convenient.

Ten Wijngaerde is the city of Bruges' last remaining Beguinage—a complex created to house beguines (a group of lay religious women) during the Middle Ages which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

History

This complex, officially known as the Princely Beguinage, Ten Wijngaerde dates back to 1244, when it was founded by Margaret of Constantinople, then Countess of Flanders.
