Lake of Love in Bruges: photos, reviews

About

In the central part of Bruges, amidst a park Minnewater, lies the true Lake of Love, from which romance and coolness waft around the clock. The lake is often visited by couples in love, for legend has it that making a vow of fidelity on one of the stone bridges promises happiness in marital life.

For tourists and locals alike, boat rides on small vessels and boats are organized. This offers a close view of the gingerbread house, ancient architecture, and the sight of majestic white swans gracefully gliding over the water. Interestingly, the swans are owned by Bruges, as indicated by the letter "B" inscribed on their beaks.

Absolutely magical place The Lake of Love (Minnewater) is the perfect introduction to Bruges—it’s peaceful, romantic, and full of charm. Walking along the lake surrounded by swans, trees, and historic bridges felt like stepping into a fairy tale. The entire city of Bruges is breathtaking, but this spot really captures its heart. A must-visit if you’re exploring the city—don’t skip it
