- Stoofstraat - Bruges’ red light district in the Middle Ages. The smallest street in Bruges, yet it gave rise to many customs. The darker side of the swans is also revealed here.
- Katelijnestraat - Everything you desire in terms of chocolate, waffles, and fries. But also the plague and the dark days of Bruges.

- Huidenvettersplein - Stories of medieval tanners come to life here. Once the dirtiest and most unhygienic square in Bruges, now a place to satisfy your hunger and thirst.
- Vismarkt - Two fish markets for two types of people, or so it was believed. The entrance to Bruges’ central square, where Gothic, Renaissance, and Classicist styles blend. A visual feast, even for non-architecture enthusiasts.
