The canals have been the veins of the city for centuries, they meander through Bruges and treat you to another magnificent view behind every bend. While strolling or sailing you will discover secret gardens, numerous romantic bridges and see medieval facades reflected in the water.

The Bruges canals are canals in the center of Bruges that are named after the Reie, the river that used to flow through the city. Because of the many canals with (arched) bridges, Bruges is also called the Venice of the North.
