To my darling Janet Sis,
Below are some of the main sights in the city ranged per column by their
proximity to one another.
For instance: the Castle of the Counts is just across the road of the Old Fish
Market. The Belfry and the Cathedral and the St Nicolas Church are all very
close together. And so on.
There are other things to see in the city too of course, but I didn't list all of them as most of them we'll be passing one way or another just by going to the ones we choose to visit anyway.
MP = Museum Pass (20 €). The items in the list below that have an MP are
included in the MP. I listed their individual price, so we can decide whether
or not it's worth getting a pass.
Also included in the pass is a 3 day free use of all public transportation in
the city (buses and trams). The MP is only valid for 3 days anyway.
There are more items included in the MP than are listed here. For a full overview of everything included in the pass, go here: Museum Pass Overview
Most of the things listed below are very closely together, so don't be alarmed by the number of it. We also don't have to do everything. I just wanted to give you an idea of what's possible (and this is just a selection). We can easily do several things in one day without it becoming overwhelming. Not to mention, filling in the gaps with a drink and a snack here and there. This IS Belgium, after all *wink*
I also made a SUGGESTION schedule: here. This is not set in stone, it's just to show you what's possible. :)
