Bruges at Christmas: Markets, Canals & Beer | UNESCO “Venice of the North”

Join me in Bruges (Brugge) at Christmas as we explore the UNESCO World Heritage medieval city centre, stroll the sparkling Christmas markets, drift along fairy‑tale canals and bridges, pass the Basilica of the Holy Blood (home to a revered cloth traditionally believed to contain the Holy Blood), and soak up the romance at the Lake of Love (Minnewater). Discover why Bruges is called the “Venice of the North,” and why beer is such a celebrated part of local culture.

We’ll wander the Grote Markt and historic lanes, admire Flemish architecture, and show the churches and museums to encounter masterpieces and themes from apocalyptic art, including references to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. If you love festive markets, medieval charm, and cozy winter vibes, then take a look

Highlights:

Bruges Christmas markets and city centre walk
Canals, bridges, and the Lake of Love (Minnewater)
Basilica of the Holy Blood and its famed relic
UNESCO-listed architecture and heritage
