A very special experience is a canal trip through Bruges, past the magnificent facades of the old town. The view from the water is one of the most beautiful perspectives of the city, even if you have to duck your head under some bridges.

The canals of Bruges

"Reien" is the Flemish name for the canals. The small canals run through the medieval city like veins, lined with magnificent facades, bridges, churches, restaurants and gardens. And it is precisely this contrast between old walls and clear water that is an essential part of the magic of Bruges. Especially when you look at Bruges from the water.

Canal trips through Bruges

If you come to Bruges, you should definitely take a boat trip on the canals and admire the city from a completely different, no less charming perspective during the half-hour trip. The boats stop at a total of five landing stages, including Huidenvettersplaats and Rozenhoedkaai.

From March to mid-November there are daily boat trips on the canals from 10:00 to 18:00.
