OUR VIEW ON BRUGES CANALS & STREETS
The city is ringed by a busy dual carriageway, but inside that, you’ll find mile after mile of beautiful chocolate-box style traditional houses, many lining canals. Every so often, you’ll come across something a bit different too like the windmills on the outskirts of the city, an unusual church, or the old fashioned gatehouses on some of the roads. Within the main city boundary, traffic is kept to a minimum and even the new buildings are built in the same style as the old, meaning you often can’t tell what’s new and what’s not. The whole area is a World Heritage Site. It’s all very pretty and we spent hours walking around the streets of Bruges and walking along the canals. If you don’t fancy the walk, you can take a canal boat trip in the warmer months of the year.

At first glance it can seem that every street is roughly the same, but on closer inspection there are so many differences. The basic building architecture is certainly of the same style, but each street has something unique.
