The bell from the Belfry rolls across the Markt as your small group steps off cobblestones warmed by the day's light. Canals edge the route like quiet companions, their slow current nudging reflections of brick gables and church spires. Over two hours a local guide threads stories of merchants, brewers and artisans between stops at the Burg, Gruuthuse and the photo-famous Dijver terrace — and hands you a guild-made praline to punctuate the tour.
