Gouden-Handrei
Free Bridges and water Outdoor

The Gouden-Handrei abounds in tranquil views. The canal was a part of Bruges’ first city walls. It was excavated in the 12th century, and although Jan van Eyck lived and worked on the other side, it’s a strikingly peaceful spot. So it gives you that special feeling that you’re the only one who knows about all this loveliness. A canal, all to yourself. Age-old beauty to be enjoyed all alone.
