Jan Van Eyck Plein

  Jan Van Eyck Plein sits in the heart of Bruges, adjacent to the bustling Markt square and just a short stroll from the iconic Belfry. This square is named after the famed 15th-century painter Jan van Eyck, who is often considered one of the pioneers of oil painting. The main feature of the square is a bronze statue of the artist, set against an elegant backdrop of historical buildings, making it a great spot for photographs. During the summer months, particularly from June to September, the square often comes alive with outdoor events and festivals. Visitors can admire the artistic history of Bruges while enjoying a coffee at one of the nearby cafés or simply relax on the benches, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.
