Hotels near Bruges Christmas Market

Any visit to Bruges will see you spending most of your time in the historic city centre surrounded by canals lined by stunning Hanseatic buildings. The pedestrianised area where you’ll find many of the city’s sights, attractions and restaurants is based around Market Square. This is the location for many events including the Christmas markets and is the area where we recommend staying while in Bruges. The following guide to hotels near Bruges Christmas Market lists the best hotels and apartments for a winter city break.

Market Place in Bruges with Hanseatic Buildings

The main Christmas market in Bruges is held in Market Square (Grote Markt), the bustling main square that is lined with Christmas market stalls from late November until early January. There are many hotels near Market Square but the city centre is very walkable, meaning you can easily get around, even if you are staying in one of the neighbouring quarters.

But if you want to be very close to the Christmas markets, stay at our top pick, otherwise, scroll down for other options suitable for various budgets.

Top Pick
Boutique Hotel Sablon

Address: Kopstraat 10, Historic Centre of Brugge, 8000 Bruges, Belgium

The Boutique Hotel Sablon is located halfway between Market Place and the Zand district. It’s around a 5-minute walk to the Christmas Markets and the light installations that brighten the city during the Winter Glow festival.
