Minnewater Lake

What does minnewater mean? This is the Dutch name for the lake, which is made up of two Dutch words: minne, which means both "common" and "love", and water, which means "water". Thus, the most correct translation would mean translating the word minne as "common", since these were the "common waters, community waters, everyone's water" since it was where the old port of Bruges was located, a site closely linked to the city and the daily life of its citizens.

Quai du Rosaire / Rozenhoedkaai

Everything from here seems taken from a fairy tale. It is impossible not to resist the temptation to take one of the boats and begin our walk through the Bruges canals at the Rosario Wharf. I used to go to this place late in the afternoon, or after dinner. You will take with you the best memories of this city, which by itself usually holds the best memories in all who visit it.
