Bruges Christmas Market

With winter approaching it is the ideal time to think about perhaps using up the last of your annual leave or getting the last holiday of the year out of your motorhome by visiting some of Europe’s Christmas markets.

Although Germany is famous for its own Christmas markets, much closer to home is the Bruges Christmas Market in Belgium. Bruges is a beautiful medieval town to visit at any time of year and the winter is no exception. Only an hour or so from the French channel port of Dunkirk, Bruges has a beautiful Christmas Market in the main square close to the Belfry clock tower, at 83 metres high; it dominates this beautiful old square.

During November and December, this square hands itself over to dozens of little chalets selling savoury snacks, hot drinks, Christmas decorations and seasonal gifts. The other fun feature of the Markt Christmas market in Bruges is the ice rink open throughout the market.

Only a few minutes’ walk away, in another smaller square called Simon Stevin Plein, lies another Christmas market, not quite so big this time but picturesque and quaint surrounded by little shops.

With its beautiful buildings, warm, cosy bars and restaurants a visit to Bruges is a welcome distraction from the cold winter weather!
