Take a canal boat trip
Bruges, Belgium
A canal boat trip shows Bruges from below its bridges, with façades, gardens and towers appearing from angles you cannot easily see on foot. The guided route takes around half an hour, running between the Jan van Eyck Square area and the Beguinage. Five central boarding points serve the tours. Individual visitors buy tickets at the landing stages rather than booking ahead, so leave some flexibility for queues and check the operating arrangements for your travel dates.
