Events for February 2012

This month we handpick the best bits of what's coming up in the Belgium city of Bruges. From Beer festivals to guided winter walks, you'll find something here that interests you.

Winter Walk - Until March 31, 2012

These walks introduce you to the different sides of Bruges. You will see many of the classic sights, but you will also go off the beaten track and be shown winding mysterious alleyways, where you will hear evocative stories of the city's past. Tickets are 9 Euros per person or free with a Bruges City Card. Tickets can be bought online or at the desk of In & Out. www.ticketsbrugge.be

Sfeervolle Winter Concert - Until March 18, 2012

Enjoy the organ sounds and a moving soprano voice in the magical surroundings of the O.L.V. van Blindekenskerk. In the Organ room of the Conservatorium the organ is combined with the piano or the harp and the Begijnhofkerk is the unique setting for an intimate concert.

Bruges Beer Festival - February 4 and 5, 2012

In beer circles, Bruges has earned a reputation as a connoisseurs' city with its long tradition of brewing and café culture. The beer festival brings together more than 65 Belgian breweries and more than 250 beers. www.brugsbierfestival.be
