 Canal boat tour
 
Discover Bruges from an entire different perspective.


During a half-hour boat trip on the canals of Bruges you are treated to some fantastic views over monuments and historical buildings. You are dished up aspects of Bruges you would never be able to behold when walking. The driver also gives information and tells fun anecdotes or petty facts.

Bruges from one of the boats on the canals means experiencing Bruges from a totally different angle, it is a relaxed way of taking in breathtaking impressions of Bruges. A tour through the canals of Bruges takes you through a major part of the city. You'll see the picturesque buildings from a different (lower!) point-of-view, and be able to take many pictures. The tours are narrated in several languages (English, Dutch/Flemish, & French and even Spanish or Japanese) and in addition to telling tourists what they are seeing, give some historical background and/or anecdotes about particular buildings or events.

"The view from the boat was beautiful. I remember thinking how my gondola ride in Venice was ridiculously overpriced. I enjoyed the churches, schools, buildings, museums, numerous bridges, the trees, even an old brewery, all from a front row perspective. Our captain pointed out things like the smallest window (a tiny glass opening at the side of a building) and gave us many canal measurements and numbers of bridges to contemplate. The sky had cleared by the time the boated started, just in time for the light to break through. It was so picturesque I found it hard to stop taking too many photos." (tourist impression)
