Best Things to do in Bruges on this Christmas Day

Long known as one of the most historic and well-preserved medieval towns
in the world, Bruges seemed almost too perfect a place for this time of
year, a most ideal Christmas town. But in many ways, Bruges exceeded my
expectations. I anticipate a town much smaller and a whole lot more
touristy than what I discovered. Christmas in Bruges distills the fairytale
essence of Christmas. And if there’s one word that sums up Bruges, it’s
chocolate. You can’t walk the streets before encountering an intoxicating
scent of pralines and Belgian waffles. But if sweets are your weakness,
then let me warn you, prepare to muster up all your self-control.

List of Best things to do in Bruges on Christmas:
1. Bruges peaceful canals

Belgium is one of the ‘low-countries’ and has the canals to prove it.
Take advantage of the quiet time of year in December for a canal-

side stroll in Bruges. Duck down a side street and you’ll feel like you
have the whole town to yourself.
2. Eat a lot of Belgian chocolates

Belgium is synonymous with chocolate and Bruges chocolate is some
of Belgium's finest. We enjoyed browsing the shops and spotting
Santa caps and reindeer among the chocolate creations.
3. Christmas Dinner at a cozy Restaurant

Bistro de Schilder is a cozy restaurant stationed inside an old gabled
canal house in Bruges. There are some disturbing paintings of clowns
on that wall, but that aside, the food was quite excellent. I managed
to eat an entire pot of mussels in their signature beer sauce. Plus,
don't forget the frites! Bistro de Schilder is an ideal spot for Christmas
dinner in Bruges.
