Bruges City Hall
Located on Burg Square, this building is an example of late Gothic architecture. Constructed between the late 14th and early 15th centuries, it is one of the oldest city hall buildings in the former Burgundian Netherlands. Visitors go here to see the historic administrative architecture and the preserved interiors of the city's governance center.
Getting There
The building is situated in the heart of the old town. From the central market area, it is a short walk of approximately 5 to 10 minutes through the pedestrian streets.
Time Requirement
Allow roughly 45 to 90 minutes to view the exterior and explore the interior rooms, depending on the level of detail you wish to observe.

The area becomes crowded during the peak summer months and on weekends. To avoid the largest groups of tourists, visit during the early morning or on weekdays. The building is accessible year-round.
