Walk · 1 h · free · four windmills on the old city wall, east of the centre

On the east side of Bruges, the old city wall is now a green walk beside the ring canal, with four windmills along the top. The Sint-Janshuismolen, from the 18th century, still grinds and Musea Brugge opens it in season.
The walk
Leave the centre along the Langestraat or through the Sint-Anna neighbourhood, with its workers' houses and its canals without tourists, and follow the rampart from the Kruispoort, one of the medieval gates still standing, northwards. This is the Bruges of the locals, twenty minutes from the Markt.
