Views: Boat Tour On The Canals Of Bruges, Belgium

Nearby, Markt square features a 13th-century belfry with a 47-bell carillon and 83m tower with panoramic views.

The canals have for centuries been the veins of the city, winding through Bruges and treating you to another magnificent view around every bend.

It became a haven for loyalists during the American Revolution but in 1781 was taken by a Spanish force from Louisiana. In 1818 Gen. Andrew Jackson captured the city during the First Seminole War.
