Bruges is famous for its canals – it’s even called The Venice of the North – and so a boat trip on the water is a must. You won’t find singing gondoliers, but you do find electronic boats with (funny) guides steering you through the narrow waters. I think a city always looks different from the water. It’s almost as if you’re invisible and free to spy on everything and everyone. Like that romantic older couple we spotted enjoying the evening sun. Or the beautiful houses and hotels literally standing in the canal. And Fidel, the golden dog that starred in the classic In Bruges featuring Colin Farrell. Check the trailer here and spot Fidel at 1,47 minutes. Done boating? A day isn’t complete without a nice Bruges beer, enjoyed on one of the many water side terraces in town. Cheers!
