Royal City Theatre.

Vlamingstraat

The Bruges City Theatre (1869) is one of the best preserved theatre buildings in Europe and has recently been restored to its former glory. The sober but elegant neo-Renaissance façade conceals a majestic auditorium and a foyer in eclectic style. This historic setting is regularly used by the Bruges Culture Centre as an important platform for contemporary dance, theatre and concerts.

Old Toll House, Jan van Eyckplein: in this recently restored building (built in 1477), toll was levied on the goods brought in by ship from Bruges’ outer ports. It now houses a provincial information office. In the same square, you can admire the statue of Jan van Eyck, the famous 15th-century Flemish painter. Close by are Woensdagmarkt (statue of Hans Memling) and Oosterlingenplein where the German Hanseatic League had its headquarters.
