It is neither large nor imposing, but its presence is most charming: the Bonifacius Bridge is a must-see of Bruges. Nestled between two small parks, it offers a setting of great poetry. The Bruges audio-guided tour stops here to savour this picturesque corner, away from the bustle.

A recent bridge with timeless charm
