Brugge Christmas Market Extended Day Trip

Details:

Departure

December 7

Brugge is an exciting city break at any time, but the city is enchanting during winter when you can visit Brugge Christmas Market as part of the Winter Glow Festival

We depart late Friday night/in the early hours of Saturday morning and travel south for our crossing to Calais. After a short channel crossing, we continue just over an hour’s drive to Brugge. On arrival in Brugge, we will drop you at the coach drop off point where it’s just a short and scenic walk to the city centre. The day is then yours to spend how you please.

Bruges is known around the world for being a true wonderland of waffles, beer, and chocolate. So, it should come as no surprise that it’s also a wonderful place to visit at Christmas time!

“Bruges Winter Glow” festival is packed with fascinating experiences, sparkle-filled special moments including a new light experience trail, ice skating with unique décor on the Minnewater (Lake of Love), a cosy winter bar, two Christmas markets, shopping fun and a lovely walking trail to wander through the historic centre with its beautiful atmospheric lighting and Christmas decorations.

Being a compact city it’s easy to visit all Brugge’s Christmas market locations in a day. Since it has acted as a marketplace since the 10th century, it makes sense that the main location for Bruges’ Christmas Market is Markt, the sprawling market square in Bruges’ historical center. Here, in the shadow of Bruges’ iconic Belfry, dozens of beautifully decorated stalls create a cozy Christmas village throughout the season with plenty of gifts and treats to buy.

The other main location for Christmas market stalls in Bruges is along the tree-lined Simon Stevinplein, where you’ll find even more shopping and eating opportunities under a canopy of twinkling lights.

The coach departs in the evening, and we make our way back to Calais for our channel crossing back to the UK, before arriving at our pickup points late Saturday night/early Sunday morning.

Please note admissions to museums and monuments are not included
