Bonifacius Bridge - Love Bridge - Bruges

The characterful surroundings of the Bonifacius Bridge and the adjacent Arentshof will delight many visitors.

Here you will find an irresistible combination of impressive history and warm romance . Lying along the picturesque canals, the Arentshof creates a unique atmosphere with its tall trees, hidden benches, mysterious works of art and beautiful views of the Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk and Gruuthuse Palace .

Here you can literally watch the world pass you by: tourist boats sail by and people walk in wonder across the square while the hoofbeats of the horse-drawn carriages resound all day long. Don't be fooled a bit further on, because the charming centuries-old-looking Bonifacius Bridge dates from the early 20th century and is one of Bruges' youngest bridges . While you take in the enchanting canals with overhanging (half-timbered) houses and passing boats, a humble feeling will undoubtedly wash over you when you look up to the tower of the Church of Our Lady. Carefully chosen lighting gives an enchanting dimension to this cherished love spot at night.
