Bruges finale

Beer house cheers

Find a Bruges beer house (De Garre, 't Brugs Beertje) and take a group toast photo with Trappist or Belgian abbey beers raised. Non-drinkers raise a fruit beer or a Hoegaarden Radler.

Belfry tower line-up

Stand back so the entire Belfry tower fits above the team in a single shot. Bonus if you can frame the gabled houses on either side too.

Bruges kick-off

The hunt begins! Find a typical Bruges backdrop (a stepped gable, a cobblestone alley, a swan on the canal) and take a group photo with the whole team in shot.

Canal bridge selfie

Stand on any bridge over a Bruges canal and take a group selfie with the water clearly below and behind the team.

Checkpoint: Burg Square

Navigate to the Burg, the smaller square one block east of the Markt, and check in.

Checkpoint: Markt square

Navigate to the Markt, the central square of Bruges, and check in at the foot of the Belfry.

Checkpoint: Minnewater

Navigate to the Minnewater (Lake of Love) at the southern edge of the old town and check in by the swans.

Checkpoint: Rozenhoedkaai

Navigate to the Rozenhoedkaai (Rosary Quay), the most photographed corner in Bruges, and check in at the canal-side fence.

Chocolate shop window pose

Bruges has more chocolate shops than streets. Find one with a wild window display (sculpted shoes, animals, anatomy) and take a group photo posing like the chocolate is real.

City Hall facade pose

The Bruges Stadhuis on the Burg is one of the oldest Gothic city halls in Europe. Line the team up so the carved facade fills the background and take a group photo.

Local Bruges tip

Convince a local Bruges resident to share a tip about the city. Take a photo with your impromptu guide and remember the tip.

Postcard canal shot

At Rozenhoedkaai: take the classic Bruges postcard shot, the team in the foreground with the canal, the Belfry and the brick towers behind. Be patient, the spot is busy but the angle is unbeatable.

Stepped gable count

Find three different stepped-gable facades in a single walk and take a photo with the team in front of each. Compile the three shots into one collage at the end.

Swan portrait

The Minnewater is full of white swans. Take a group photo with at least one swan clearly visible. Do not chase them, they win.

Trivia: Belfry height

The Belfry of Bruges is roughly how many metres tall (within five metres is fine)?

Trivia: Bruges chocolatiers

Trivia: Holy Blood crusade

The Basilica of the Holy Blood claims its relic of Christ's blood was brought back to Bruges in the 12th century from a Crusade. Which Crusade number (a digit or "Second")?

Waffle moment

Find a Belgian waffle stand, order a round and take a photo with everyone taking the first bite at the same time. Powdered sugar everywhere is encouraged.
