De Garre is one of the narrowest streets in Brugge, located near the historic center of the city. Its name refers to a "narrow opening" in West Flemish dialect. Originally known as "Zuidzeepstraatje" in the 16th century, it has a rich history linked to a soap factory. The street is famous among locals and tourists alike for its charming brown café, providing a unique atmosphere. De Garre can be accessed from Breidelstraat and is often closed off at night. Visitors should note that it's a small alleyway, offering a glimpse into Brugge's past. While there are no formal visiting hours or admission fees, respectful behavior is expected as it is a residential area.
