Brugge

Bruges, Belgium

Brugge is a fairy tale come true, with all those walkable streets and beautiful canal waterways. You’re guaranteed to love this town. Yes, boat excursions aimed to tourists can be unbearably cheesy, but the five small companies that operate these 30-45 minute visits by water, appear to all be exceptions to this rule. Grand descriptions of homes and buildings, while soaking up the unique perspectives from under the bridges and on the water, leaves you wanting more when the boat returns to where you embarked. Each boat can accommodate close to 30 people and most of the operators get started at about 10 am each day during the months of March through November. You’ll clearly see the signs for where you can hop on and the price for adults tends to be around 8 to 10 Euros per person. Grab a scarf or jacket in case you get cold on the water and have your camera packed. The views of this charming town, only get better by boat.
