There is no better way to experience a truly festive season in Europe than visiting Brugge aka Bruges at Christmas time. Picture strolling amongst medieval townhouses adorned by fairy lights with a delightful Belgian hot chocolate in your hand. Christmas in Bruges is a truly magical time, and the city really pulls its weight when it comes to festive decoration and activities happening in different locations, with the most special Bruges Christmas Market in the central city’s square.

The Light experience trail is lighting up Bruges. The trail takes you past 14 impressive light and word installations at well-known and lesser-known locations in the historic city centre. Magically lit squares and monuments come to life in poetry, slam poetry and one-liners. So many beautiful words from Bruges artists.
