Attractions

Beguinage

Part of the World Heritage Site that covers all the Flemish beguinages, this one is still used for its original purpose, to house single women; unbelievably picturesque, white terraced houses surround a central green that is awash with daffodils in early spring.

Canals

Try not to leave Bruges without taking a boat trip along the city's canals, or a romantic walk alongside them.
