A wonderful way to see Brugge and its canals is to take a CANAL BOAT TOUR. As we were here only for the day and had so much to see and do, we unfortunately didn't go on one. But the folks we saw on the boats were having a wonderful time. They got to see close-up why Brugge is known as the "Venice of the North". Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

If you visit Bruges you can't miss a boat trip on the canals. Here is where you'll see why Bruges is called "Little Venice". During a roundtrip on the picturesque city canals you will discover Bruges from quite a different and surprising point of view!
Tours are normally run daily, from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. In the off season : during weekends and holiday periods, and on public holidays (depending on the weather). Generally no tours are organized during the months of January and February. The price for adults is around 6.00 euro per person.

Many visitors to Bruges pass across the bridge I mentioned on my opening page sometimes into Beginage. The Spire of St Salvators Church could be better taking from these boat ride. This is because the Church is very tall. You can see the Church in the background of the pics. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

Well, is has already been said so much about Canal Boat Tours by VT members so I will not repeat about ?The Venice of the North?, ?tourist trap? and so on. You will find prices, landing stations and time-tables in other VT tips here on this page.
I will just share with you my personal opinion about those canal trips.
We listened to the advice that the best way to explore a new place is by walking and on our arrival to Brugge we spent around 2 hours on our feet circulating the main streets around the centre. We got tired and decided to take a boat trip just to relax and make some pictures from the water. By this time we thought that we must have seen the most of the city (at least those places that were worth to spend time on). So we have not expected much from this boat trip ? just another angle for our pictures. Guess how surprised and excited we become when the boat took us to huge amount of extraordinary places that we have not seen yet. We would have missed 80 % of Brugge if we had not taken this trip. The boat trip gave us inspiration and clear plan for our further walking tour. After this boat trip we were walking 6 hours to see everything in details. During this walking tour we discovered many beautiful places that we could not see from the boat. We even did not have time for lunch! Only after these additional 6 hours we could actually say that we have seen the most of the Brugge. Thanks to the boat trip that opened our eyes and showed us how big Brugge actually was. In many other cities the historical centre is quite small and you can see the most of it during about 2 hours. But Brugge is not like other cities. The whole Brugge is worth seeing. Every street, every corner, every square is so extremely beautiful that we could not stop saying Wow all the time during these 6 hours. I could not imagine that so much beauty could be concentrated in one city. Theme: Ship/Boat

Wait for a sunny day, even for a sunny hour, or if you don't have time for a sunny minute...Then go for a boat ride; take the umbrella with you. The views are splendid and it gives you an idea where to head next during your visit.. Leave a Comment

One of the nicest ways to see Bruges is by taking a trip on the canal, there are five families that are allowed to organise tourist excursions by open boats on the canals. Each family is allowed 4 boats, so prices are regulated. These guided canal trips let you see the hidden corners of the city at water level. The rides last about 40 minutes and there are a number of landing stages to set off from around the canal.
The photo shows one of the five landing stations: -

It's quaint and at the same time it's shamefully touristy, yet one really cannot visit brugge and then fail to see the town from the canals' perspective.
From March to November, and 10am to 5.30 pm canal boat tours leave from the Georges Stael boat landing at Katelijnestraat 4 for a 45 minutes water tour.
I found it very interesting, in spite of all. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat
