Description

Markt (Market Square) — the heart of Bruges’ festivities. Festive wooden chalets, a large Christmas tree, twinkling lights, and the iconic medieval buildings (guild houses + the Belfry) make this square feel like a page from a fairy tale. Simon Stevinplein (Simon Stevin Square) — a quieter, more intimate spot, where small craft stalls sell handmade ornaments, local artisanal products, lace, wooden toys — great if you’re looking for unique gifts or souvenirs. Visit Bruges: Festive food, drinks and local goodies Warm your hands with a mug of mulled wine (glühwein) or sip a rich Belgian hot chocolate. Indulge in crispy waffles, spiced speculoos biscuits, roasted chestnuts, and perhaps some of Belgium’s famous chocolates — many stands treat visitors to holiday-themed packaging, perfect for giving. Artisan stalls at Simon Stevinplein often focus on craft goods and local specialties, giving you the chance to bring home something truly original. The Christmas magic in Brussels isn’t confined to a single square — it spreads across multiple locations, creating a festive trail through the heart of the city. Think: over 200–250 wooden chalets spread across the historic centre — from the majestic Grand-Place to Place Sainte-Catherine, Marché aux Poissons (Vismet), Place de la Bourse, Place de la Monnaie, and around Place de Brouckère. Festive masterpieces: lights, tree, nativity and sound-and-light show Grand-Place becomes a showpiece: its 17th-century guildhalls are illuminated in a dazzling sound-and-light show every evening — a must-see highlight that brings history and Christmas magic together. The square’s giant Christmas tree and a life-size nativity scene complete a classic festive picture — perfect for photos and holiday memories. At Place Sainte-Catherine / Marché aux Poissons: a large Ferris wheel — offering panoramic views of the market lights and rooftops — and classic merry-go-rounds bring a nostalgic, joyful vibe. At Place de Brouckère: a covered ice rink and even curling lanes, plus family-friendly attractions like Santa’s reindeer carousel and other festive rides. Cultural touches: “artisan” chalets marked with a quality label, street performers, choirs, creative workshops, and craft-markets — giving a local, authentic feel beyond tourist-oriented stalls. As you wander from stall to stall: fresh-made Belgian waffles (often topped with chocolate or whipped cream), mulled wine (glühwein) or warm jenever, roasted chestnuts, traditional sweets — all part of the festive fare. In some chalets you may also find winter dishes like raclette or hearty “mountain-style” food, especially later in the evening. There’s a unique energy: around old guildhalls, cobblestone streets and historic buildings — but with the buzz of a big European capital doing Christmas in style. Between chalets and lights you’ll feel the blend of tradition and festive spectacle that makes Brussels’ market a standout.
