Bruges

Bruges, the capital of West Flanders in northwest Belgium, is a small medieval town filled with picturesque canals, medieval architecture, and cobblestone streets. Bruges is a place that lives and breathes history – a walk through its quaint historic center feels like stepping back in time to the Middle Ages. It is one of Europe’s best-preserved cities and a designated UNESCO world heritage site.  

Things to do in Bruges: 

  • Try a Belgium Waffle in the Grote Markt square 
  • Savor a Belgian beer at a historic brewery 
  • Take a boat tour of the cute canals 
  • Climb the Belfry Tower 

Christmas market

The Bruges Winter Glow festival is a wonderful experience. Special moments await you, including two Christmas markets, cozy winter bars, and the Light Experience Trail – a lovely walking trail through the historic center of Bruges with its beautiful atmospheric lighting and Christmas decorations. 

Hotels

There are several hotels in the city center, all of which are within walking distance of the HealthTech Investor Summit venue.
