The 12 Trips of Christmas: No. 7 Bruges

THE 12 TRIPS OF CHRISTMAS

NO. 7 BRUGES

Bruges, Belgium

“It’s a fairytale fucking town, isn’t it?”

Ralph Fiennes in ‘In Bruges’ knows…

From the cobbled streets, to the horse-drawn carriages, Bruges is one of Europe’s most perfectly preserved Medieval towns 🎄

Just add lights, snow and molten chocolate and you have a festive AF Christmas trip…

Go for the… Chocolate

As good as any sex you’ll have this Christmas (and equally messy) - the Belgian chocolate here will get you sucking your fingers like Nigella with a bowl of cookie dough.

There’s 42 chocolate shops hidden all around the city, each selling its own version of festive treats (and chocolate cocks).

The hot chocolate at the Old Chocolate House is actually the best in the world. Trust.

Other good stuff

If you can see it in a snow globe, you’ll find it in Bruges. It caters for all your ice-skating, Christmas market and hot cider needs.

Stroll over the tiny bridges and get an eyeful of the view from the famous Belfry Tower.
