- masonapGloucester, UK5 contributionsBrugge is a lovely place, well worth at least one full day's visit. The Papageno statue is just one of many wonderful sights.

- GoGo2SlowGoDenton, TX1,527 contributionsIf you visit the Burg Square, you might see a statue just on the other side of the river. It is of Frank Van Acker who was the Mayor of Bruges and a Belgian member of Parliament. It’s a cool photo opportunity – the statue is just a bust of his head but it’s well done.Written March 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- AnnKznHowick, South Africa505 contributionsStatue of a prominent painter with a paint brush in one hand and a picture in another. The statue is in the center of the square which is at the old harbour. You will find interesting buildings surrounding the square area. The toll house is one of the most ornate.Written September 5, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Ana GSydney, Australia431 contributionsSuch a picturesque little spot, this is great to get some good photos.
Here you can get views of the canal, church, statue and a quaint little house.Written October 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - high_low73Bergen, Norway790 contributionsLovely experience in a busy part of Brugge. Enjoy some refreshments as you marvel the works of this statue.
The artist couple Stefaan Depuydt and Livia Canestraro created a bronze statue of two lovers in the centre in Bruges in 2002. Located near the Stadhuis (city hall), where local couples get married, the statue has the word love in many languages etched into the base.Written June 29, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Dimitris LSydney, Australia38,887 contributionsThe Monument to Guido Gezelle is in a fairly nice area of Brugge, although not an exceptional spot! There are a few cafes and eateries around the place. We came across this spot quite by chance while wandering the streets of Brugge. We did not know anything about Guido Gezelle prior to "meeting" him in this way.... We now know he is a very important Belgian poet. He was a Roman Catholic priest and great poet. He tried to make the Flemish language a better one, independent of the Dutch language. A great man indeed.Written January 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- FrohlixCardigan411 contributionsWhether it is an accurate representation or not, it is a statue that I find beautiful and come away from - every time - with a sense of wonder at the talent of someone who has created it. I would never leave Brugge without visiting this work of art which intrigues me.Written July 6, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- TaxidevilGlasgow, UK2,983 contributionsI did my homework before my visit so knew that Maurits Sabbe was a Flemish Writer.
The bust stands in an attractive area of Bruges ( but then ALL of Bruges is attractive) overlooking the canal and area where the swans and ducks gather.Written March 2, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
