Brugge Canal Tour: Glide Through History (and Maybe Scream Like a Tourist)

Ready for a day in Brugge that feels like you've stepped straight into a fairy tale? The Brugge Canal Tour is your golden ticket to see this medieval wonderland from the best seat in the house—on the water. Forget the guidebooks and your map app for a minute, and let a boat be your trusty tour guide as it takes you through the city's dreamy canals. If you don’t take a canal ride in Brugge, did you even really visit Brugge? (Hint: no, you didn’t.)

Swan Lake, But With More Tourists

As you glide down the waterway, you'll feel like royalty—except your boat isn’t a swan and your royal attire is a bit more “casual tourist” than “royal duchess.” The canals are lined with picturesque buildings that look like they belong on a postcard (you’ll snap about 57 photos, because you just have to). Keep an eye out for the local swans who might be plotting their revenge for the tourists who dare take their perfect water shots. The canals look so calm and serene, you’ll almost forget that you’re surrounded by people who’ve never heard of personal space. Almost.

History So Beautiful, It Almost Makes You Forget to Look at Your Phone

As you drift past centuries-old buildings and quaint bridges, you'll realize you're literally floating through a history book. From medieval market squares to grand churches, Brugge is practically an open-air museum. Your guide will regale you with tales about the city’s past, which means you can nod enthusiastically while secretly wondering if you can remember half of it. But that’s okay, because what you’ll really remember is the tranquility of the canals... or, let’s be honest, the pure joy of not getting wet as you glide along.

Channel Your Inner Venetian (Minus the Gondola)

Sure, Venice gets all the love for its canals, but Brugge? Brugge has a charm all its own. Here, you’re floating past buildings that look like they belong in a fairy tale, minus the gondola—and frankly, you’re probably glad for it. This canal tour is a relaxed, scenic way to take in the best sights, all while you pretend you're a noble character out for a leisurely cruise. Just don’t forget your sunscreen or your hat, because that sun? It’ll still find a way to burn you through your sunglasses.
