Horses are also of great importance in Bruges, one of the places that best reflects the medieval period. The horse heads in the fountain called Horse Head Drinking Fountain express this. This area is very close to one of the points where horse tours by carriage start.This fountain is used to fill the water buckets of the horses, which are legally required to be fed regularly. When you look at the horses, you can clearly see how well they are fed and cared for.

Horse coach rides in the Bruges city center are very popular with numerous domestic and foreign tourists. All tours start and end at the market square, but they all pass alongside the fountain on their way, making sure the horses are able to drink if they want to.
