What to see
On Markt, compare the market halls beneath the Belfry with the Provincial Court. On Burg, continue to the town hall, old registry and Basilica of the Holy Blood: civic power and religious heritage share one square
How to walk
Walk from Markt to Burg, then through the Fish Market to Rozenhoedkaai. Short links leave room for one interior: the town hall, basilica or Belfry climb. Visiting every attraction requires additional time
