Two Christmas days in Flanders: the Markt market in Bruges, then Ghent’s chalets around St Bavo’s Cathedral.
Bruges and Ghent offer two complementary Christmas atmospheres, less than an hour’s drive apart. In Bruges, the chalets are set up on the Markt, at the foot of the belfry, and on Simon Stevin Square, in a fairy-tale setting. In Ghent, the Christmas market brings the central squares to life around St Bavo’s Cathedral, home of the Mystic Lamb altarpiece. Your group enjoys short guided tours, reserved lunches in the warm and free time for mulled wine or hot chocolate. One night in a hotel with a lift lets you savour the evening lights without a late return.
