The Bruges Beer Experience is a beer museum on the upper floors of the former post office at the corner of the Markt and Breidelstraat in Bruges, a building by Louis Delacenserie opened in 1891. Opened in 2014, it traces beer from Mesopotamia to the brewers of Bruges, the Trappists and modern brewing, with a tablet guide in ten languages and a tasting bar.

The Basilica of the Holy Blood on the Burg in Bruges is a double chapel built from 1134 as the private chapel of the Counts of Flanders. The Romanesque lower chapel of St Basil survives almost unchanged, while the upper chapel, rebuilt in Gothic style and redecorated in the 19th century, keeps the relic of the Holy Blood; a small museum and treasury adjoin it.

St. Salvator's Cathedral is the cathedral of Bruges, a Gothic brick church built from 1250 on the site of a parish church in use since the 10th century, and a cathedral only since 1834. After a fire in 1839 the English architect Robert Chantrell gave its west tower a neo-Romanesque top; inside are a late-Gothic choir stall, 18th-century tapestries and a treasury.
