Christmas atmosphere in Blankenberge and Bruges
Christmas Shopping from Blankenberge: Cosiness by the Sea
Blankenberge is the perfect base for your Christmas shopping on the Belgian coast. In just 7 minutes by train, you find yourself in the atmospheric Bruges, where the Christmas market and the Winter Glow route showcase sparkling lights, skating fun, and cozy stalls. With the train, you don’t have any parking stress, and you’re instantly in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage city with its stepped gables, towers, and canals. Pure romance…!

But also in Blankenberge itself, there is plenty of winter atmosphere. The cozy winter village with ice skating rink, the Christmas lights in the shopping streets, and the warm cafés make the city irresistible. Or go to the winter show ‘Let It Snow’ in the Witte Paard Theater. Combine festive shopping with a refreshing beach walk and experience how magical Christmas by the sea can be.
Blankenberge is a budget-friendly destination during the winter months, where it is delightful to stay.
