De Burg is the beating heart of the city, full of historic buildings and stories. You will find the locals on the Market Square, on the terrace of Huis Craenenburg.
De Burg is the historic heart of the city. The Gothic town hall is a hive of activity. Especially on summer Saturdays, one newlywed couple after another strides out of the building at record speed. The famous Belfry towers above the nearby Market Square, which you can also climb. A stone's throw away, you will find the City Theatre, the former Stock Exchange Square and Jan van Eyck Square with its medieval Tolhuis and Poortersloge. Dream away on the once busy city canals and end the day with a Belgian beer on one of the many terraces.
