De Garre - Free Audio Guide

De Garre is one of the narrowest streets in Brugge, situated close to the historic heart of the city. The name translates to "narrow opening" in the local West Flemish dialect. Once known as "Zuidzeepstraatje" in the 16th century, it has a fascinating history associated with a soap factory. The street is popular with both locals and tourists, particularly due to its quaint brown café. Accessible from Breidelstraat, it is usually closed at night. Visitors should be aware that it is a narrow alleyway that showcases Brugge's heritage. There are no set visiting hours or admission fees, but visitors are encouraged to be respectful as it is a residential area.
