The iconic view of Rozenhoedkaai with the Belfry and medieval houses of Bruges

Rozenhoedkaai represents the most photographed spot in Bruges, where canals meet creating a unique perspective on Flemish medieval houses. At the center of the composition a large tree decorated with Christmas lights is reflected in the calm waters, while in the background stands the imposing Belfry, the 83-meter civic tower symbol of the city. Brick houses with characteristic stepped gable roofs line the shore, testimony to Bruges golden age as a wool trade center in the 14th century. An excursion boat is moored in the foreground, ready to take visitors along the canals.
