Eiermarkt (Egg Market)

The lively Egg Market only comes to life when it’s time for an aperitif, around eleven o’clock. You’ll seldom see early birds here. This is a place to enjoy life into the small hours. A square full of atmosphere. Today cafés and terrace jostle each other, but in the past this was where dairy produce was sold. The 18th century water pump, once a public fountain and a source of fresh clean water for the people of Bruges, has been preserved.
