St Michielsbrug

( Do not miss )

Low swing-bridges slowed down traffic both on land and on water and the construction of the St Michielsbrug in 1910 did away with the congestion on the route to Bruges. It is the only large bridge in the city centre and Japanese tourists who have only a short time to see the city are brought here by their tour guide to get a quick impression of the city. It is a platform from which you can admire the guild houses on the Graslei and Korenlei, the three towers, the St Michielskerk and the Pand. This is picture-postcard Ghent, the perspective from which you can view the historic core of the city with a minimum of passing traffic to distract you.
