The most romantic hotspot in Flanders’ most romantic city? That’s the Minnewater in Bruges. You cycle or stroll over the cobblestones of the Minnewater bridge, past the round Gun Powder tower, while the little Castle della Faille reflects gracefully in the water. Long ago, the people of Bruges believed that ‘minnen’ - water spirits - dwelled here, hence the name. Add a tragic love story, beautiful trees and plenty of greenery, and you get a spot in the city where every couple in love looks a little deeper into each other’s eyes. Perfect for your social media: the best photo is taken from the Minnewater Bridge or right next to the ‘sashuis’ (lock keeper’s house).
