Starting at Bargeplein, the route leads through the scenic Minnewater Park, including a stop at the well-known “Lake of Love,” considered one of the city’s most romantic locations. The tour then continues past the historic Begijnhof Bridge (Begijnhofbrug) toward the UNESCO-listed Beguinage. Here, you can walk through the tranquil courtyard, view the traditional white-painted houses, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this medieval complex, once inhabited by a religious women’s community. The route is generally flat but includes uneven cobblestone streets, therefore comfortable walking shoes are advised. Please note that this tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility.
