City views + sound art

## Where the Music Suites feel at home

The Music Suites take their name from a city that has always made music. The medieval belfry still rings a 47-bell carillon over the squares; the churches host recitals; and on 't Zand — the square right by your door — the terracotta Concertgebouw is one of Europe's finest modern concert halls, with a season of classical, jazz and dance, and a rooftop you can climb for the view.

## The rooftop & the carillon

Climb the Concertgebouw's rooftop circuit for a sound-art installation and a panorama of Bruges' spires — then wander to the Markt for the belfry's carillon, a 500-year tradition still played by hand.

Programme

## A season worth planning around

### Classical & more

The Concertgebouw programmes classical, world music, jazz and contemporary dance — often at accessible prices. Check dates before you travel.

### Free & everywhere

The belfry carillon, church organ recitals and buskers on the squares mean there's music in Bruges even without a ticket.

Practical

## Plan the music

### Book concerts ahead

Popular Concertgebouw nights sell out — check the programme and book before you travel.

### Climb the rooftop

The rooftop circuit (small fee) has a sound installation and one of the best views in Bruges — two minutes from the suites.

### Catch the carillon

The belfry's carillon plays on a set schedule — a free, magical soundtrack over the Markt.

### Stay next door

The Music Suites sit by 't Zand; walk to a concert and be home in minutes.
