Rozenhoedkaai (Rose Hat Quay), Brugge
Rose Hat Quay is one of the most photogenic sites in Brugge. Here, the Groenerei and Dijver canals meet.
Historians believe that this area was used by trading ships to moor and unload their goods. One of the most popular commodities was salt, a precious commodity in the Middle Ages.
The view from the quay overlooks ancient homes lining canals. The beautiful buildings are reflected in the water and provide a postcard-perfect scene. From this vantage point, visitors can see perfectly maintained medieval homes and shops with classical facades. The bridge and wooden docks are all in exceptional condition.
This is a great spot to take a canal tour and see the historic city from the water. A stop here is a stop back in time!
Like Market Square, Rose Hat Quay is gorgeous at sunset and dusk as the lights sparkle in the water's reflection.
