The medieval city of Bruges is a magical setting for your Christmas shopping. Wrap up warm, wander beside the canals and along cobbled streets, and explore Bruges's Christmas market stalls. Pick up last minute gifts, decorations and chocolates, and speed round the ice-rink in Markt Square.
The Christmas markets are held on Market Square, and Simon Stevinplein, with 30 traditional stalls selling gifts and speciality foods, a Christmas Hobby and Toy Fair, complete with crib, carols and decorations and an ice skating rink for the adventurous!
The Snow & Ice Sculpture Festival is sculpted from no less than 300,000 kilograms of crystal-clear ice and 400 tons of pure snow. This treasure-trove of icy masterpieces is preserved in a special 1,200sq metre thermal tent
