Bruges, Belgium

About Minnewater Lake

The Lake of Love — a tranquil swan-filled lake and park at the southern edge of the medieval city, framed by weeping willows and a 14th-century lock house. The swans of Bruges are legendary; the walk around the lake and through the adjoining Beguinage is the most romantic 30 minutes in Belgium.

Bruges Canal Cruise

The essential Bruges experience — a 30-minute boat tour through the medieval canal network giving a completely different perspective on the city: under low stone bridges, past 15th-century guild houses and monastery gardens, and through the network of waterways that earned Bruges its 'Venice of the North' title.
