Photography in Bruges is practical and rewarding, with medieval architecture and quiet canals providing perfect subjects at every turn. Two standout options make the most of your camera time: The 2-hour walking workshop connects you with local experts who know the best angles and hidden spots, while the private 30-minute photoshoot delivers polished, professional shots of your visit. I especially like the combo photo tour with boat ride – it pairs nicely with the city’s history and gives you water-level perspectives that most travelers miss.
