Boat trips on the canals of Bruges

A visit to Bruges is not complete without a boat trip on the Bruges canals, the arteries of the city. Accompanied by swans floating past you on the water, you will discover Bruges from a surprising perspective. Because some things you only see from the water!

You embark at one of the five moorings in the heart of Bruges. For half an hour , the captain will take you to the most beautiful spots on the water between Jan van Eyckplein and the Beguinage. Along the way, admire some of Bruges' highlights from a completely different angle and get an explanation of what you see. The languages in which explanations are given depend on the nationalities on board during your visit. All shipping companies follow the same route and have four uncovered boats (umbrellas are handed out in case of rain) with a capacity of 35 to 40 people per boat. Did you know that the boats will be gradually replaced by more environmentally conscious, quiet electric boats in the coming years?

Boat trips run from early March to mid-November. Beyond that, the shipping companies can decide for themselves whether to open or not. It is not possible to make a reservation for an individual visit, you simply buy your ticket on site at one of the shipping companies.
