I think the best way to see the historical city of Bruges is on an open-top canal boat. Daily between March and mid November 10am to 6pm. Take a jumper or jacket as it can get chilly even on a sunny day!

This is a wonderful way of seeing Bruges from - literally - a different level. You cruise along some extremely beautiful stretches of canal overlooked by some extremely pretty buildings, especially the houses right by the water. Many have stone jetties leading into the canals, some have overhanging windows and others small courtyards overlooking the water.

The trip takes about 30 minutes and there are many views that will have you reaching for your camera.

One, small criticism is that the boat driver/guide can differ in quality. Some can be a little lack-lustre in their commentary – ours always seemed to have gone past the building, point of interest etc by the time he got round to talking about it and so I felt I didn’t get as much information about what we were seeing as I would have liked. However I would still recommend a canal trip for anyone visiting Bruges. Sit back, relax and enjoy seeing the city from a different viewpoint

The trip cost approx 5 euros.
