You may choose to include a relaxing 30-minute canal cruise and experience Bruges from a completely different perspective. Glide through the city’s scenic canals as you pass historic bridges, charming medieval buildings, and hidden corners that can only be seen from the water. A canal cruise is considered one of the classic Bruges experiences and is a wonderful way to enjoy the city’s unique atmosphere.
Please note that canal tickets are pre-arranged for guests selecting this option during booking. Boats are shared with other visitors, and waiting times of approximately 15–20 minutes may occur depending on daily crowds. Guests joining the canal cruise will have slightly reduced free time in the city.
If you prefer to purchase canal tickets independently while in Bruges, we recommend visiting the ticket office at the beginning of your free time, as same-day availability cannot be guaranteed.
