Viewpoints in Bruges

Bonifacius Bridge is a small, ornamental stone footbridge behind the Church of Our Lady, spanning a narrow canal with views of ivy-covered walls, Gothic windows, and overhanging trees. Despite its medieval appearance, the bridge was actually built in 1910.

Jan van Eyckplein is an atmospheric square at the site of Bruges' former trade harbour, where ships from across Europe once docked. Centred on a statue of the painter Jan van Eyck, it overlooks converging canals with views of historic merchant buildings.

Rozenhoedkaai (Quay of the Rosary) is the single most photographed spot in Bruges. From this canal-side promontory, the view encompasses the Belfry tower framed by medieval buildings, their reflections shimmering in the water of the Dijver canal.
