5. Bruges Canals will walk you through the city’s magic

Here you are, watching one of the most beautiful canal networks in the world, where the medieval bridges and the sky are reflected in the calm, quiet waters. Steenhouwersdijk is smoothly continued with Groenerei, being guarded by the charity house called De Pelikaan (translated as the pelican), dating from 1714. Its name refers to the Christian mercy’s symbol – the mighty pelican.

Like the rest of the city, the canals inspire tranquillity and peace, as if time is running out differently, magically, more pleasantly than you’ve ever noticed. Each significant building has its own wharf and plenty of beautiful flowers garnishing it, fitting perfectly into the whole landscape.

Your outdoor sightseeing tour has just ended, yet I’m sure you can’t wait to start it again, right from the beginning. Am I right, or am I right?

Bruges is not a place you want to visit once in a lifetime and I think you figured this out by now. You will be back here. And every time you return, you will discover new things to be seen and new activities that will make you fall in love with this elegant town. See you soon!
