Amp up for Christmas with a weekend trip to Bruges, home to some of Europe's best Christmas markets and most mouthwatering local food. Shop for unique gifts, sip mulled wine, munch on waffles and frites (fries) and indulge in a Belgian beer, obvs. This awesome weekend break starts and ends in London, plus includes all transport and return English Channel ferry tickets.
Itinerary
Day 1: London to Bruges, Belgium
Let's get straight into it - we have but two days to shop, eat and sightsee up a storm! First, a walking tour to stretch those legs and keep our body temperature warm. Then (hold onto your hats): the Christmas markets. Mulled wine, traditional Christmas food and a tonne of Belgian crafts to satisfy those souvenir requirements. Tonight, enjoy a Christmas-y dinner with trimmings and then some of Belgium's finest drinks to fill you up with dreams of Santa and snow.
Day 2: Bruges to London, UK
After a Bruges breakfast this morning we have a final chance to cram as many Christmas market buys into our bags as possible. Or if you peaked too early and bought everything yesterday, explore the medieval streets or people watch in Market Square. This afternoon, say bye to your new besties and ride back to England.
