It's a fun way to get to the city center. The Ezelstraat has many nice little shops and restaurants. You will also find a number of hostels for a low budget to stay one or more nights. On the Eiermarkt, on your left, you will find the 'Loge' of Pieter Aspe, a famous writer.

It was rebuilt in 1369 by the Bruges Jan Slabbaert and Mathias Saghen on the model of the Smedenpoort and Boeveriepoort. In the 17th century it was radically rebuilt in different phases (1615, 1632, 1677). Thorough restoration 1991-1993. A characteristic of this port is that, like the Smedenpoort, it is completely surrounded by water. Nowadays the gate is only used by pedestrians and cyclists.
