Enjoy a gentle cruise down the canals past lane after lane of whitewashed ancient almshouses. Our top tip to visiting this chocolate-box city is to avoid the tourist-filled summer months but visit in Spring when the daffodils fill the Begijnhof Retreat courtyard or Christmas when the festive markets light up the town.

Hotel Van Cleef

Home to the Van Cleef dynasty for over seven hundred years, and now an Italianate boutique hotel overlooking a canal, room amenities include minibars and marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs. Upgrades bring canal views and wooden-beamed ceilings, but all guests can enjoy the artworks lining the restaurant walls, and the ideally-placed waterside terrace. Run by the team behind The Pand and De Orangerie, it won a Belgian Hospitality Award for Best Hotel Concept in 2015. The Van Cleef is a short distance from the medieval Belfry of Bruges, and one kilometre from the Church of Our Lady and its Michelangelo sculpture.
