Iconic Canals and Bridges

Bruges’ UNESCO-listed center is defined by its 'Reien' canals and over 80 bridges. This collection spans from the medieval stone arches of Meebrug and Peerdenbrug to the striking red modernism of the Barge Bridge. Key sites include the Rozenhoedkaai, a former salt harbor, and the Bonifacius Bridge, which offers views of the Church of Our Lady. These waterways served as vital trade routes and now host boat tours and scenic paths like the Groenerei promenade.
