Belfry

This medieval tower has a chime of about 47 bells every hour. This city tower, which used to be used as a lookout, can be climbed for a fee and gives you a nice view of Bruges. It is a steep climb: you have to climb 366 steps before you can enjoy the view.

Boat ride

Bruges is also called the “Venice of the North”. This is due to the small channels (called Bruges canals) that run through the city with the most beautiful and romantic bridges. A cruise through these “veins” of Bruges, is therefore a very popular attraction. In a boat trip of about half an hour you can admire the most beautiful places of Bruges from a completely different side. Every day in five different places to step up from 10.00 to 18.00.

The Sint-Jans hospital

The Sint-Janshospitaal in Bruges is one of the oldest surviving hospital buildings in Europe. Dating from the twelfth century, here sick people, pilgrims and travelers were cared for by the nuns and monks present. You can not only learn more about life in this hospital, but the old pharmacy and herb garden are certainly worth a visit. In addition, many works of art by one of the most famous painters of the Flemish Primitives can be admired here: Hans Memling. He lived and worked in Bruges during the fifteenth century.

Rozenhoedkaai

Every evening at dusk, a battalion of photographers plunges down the Rozenhoedkaai with tripods. Not surprising, because the view from this quay has not changed significantly for centuries. The Belfort, towers, stained-glass windows, stepped gables, weeping willows, bridge and quays … Everything is right, and with a bit of luck is also reflected in the Dijver.

Water: Tap water is safe to drink and bottled water is widely available.

Safety: Belgium is a safe country. Violent crime is low, and most tourists will never be bothered by safety concerns other that petty crime. However, as in most European cities, pickpockets can be an issue in urban areas or at crowded events.  Begging is not uncommon, but you will rarely experience aggressive beggars.
