The Poertoren is a tower on the Begijnenvest in Bruges. The tower has been the storage place for the city's gunpowder since 1477 and owes its name to the West Flemish word for gunpowder: poer. The 18 meter high tower has a diameter of 8 meters; the walls are about 1.3 meters thick.

The romantic bridge par excellence is the Minnewater Bridge. Rain, sun, fog or snow, love always prevails here. And you get that privileged view of the Minnewater for free. The popular legend tells that whoever walks across the Minnewater Bridge with his beloved will know eternal love together.

In the Minnewaterpark, the city seems far away. This delightful park in the south of the historic city center is bordered by the green Vesten and the graceful Minnewater. The tranquil Begijnhof is within walking distance. Or the place where residents of Bruges can take a break with their feet in the grass. With enough intimate garden rooms to have the nice feeling that you have the park all to yourself.
