Bruges canal jetties (5 operators), Bruges · €12 adult · free under-4
Five operators run the same loop from five different jetties; all priced identically (€12 adult, free under-4). 10–15 minute waits at peak summer; near-empty boats outside school holidays. Tour runs daily from March to mid-November, weather permitting.
Why go
Slip under Bruges' low stone bridges in an open boat, with brick gables, willow branches and swans passing at canal level. In half an hour, the medieval city stops feeling like a postcard and starts making spatial sense.
