You will absolutely have to come to this big open square on your visit as it is the center of everything and because the gorgeous architecture of this historic city is on full display here. You will also find a big statue. It can be very busy and crowded with so many tourists, but we were here in winter and it was peaceful. I hope it is peaceful for you as well.

Brugge's market square, even under a gray October sky, vibrates with life and is still, after 10 centuries, the heart of the city and the region. The square has retained its medieval appearance, with stepped facade buildings and the famous Belfort (bell tower). Very, very touristy, you need a bit of abstraction from the crowd to enjoy its beauty and ancient spirit.

Markt Square is in the center of Bruges and is home to the Belfry, guild houses, city hall, tourist information, cafes, and souvenir shops. It is a very lively place where tourist buses and horse-drawn carriages arrive and depart. Depending on which direction you look at it, the buildings have different atmospheres, so you'll want to take pictures all around. There are toilets, but they are available for a fee.

The overall experience was absolutely outstanding and out of the world. But I just want to rant about the old lady with the blonde hair who works the aperol spritz drink cabin in the big market place.she was nice to the point where she realised that I did not have 5€ cash to pay for a deposit on the glasses and the whole attitude changed to a point where you would I have thought I had asked for drinks and had no money to pay for them even though I was showing her my card as I did with every other drinks bar in the Christmas market. She was absolutely vile demanding 5€ in cash for the deposit for the glasses which others did but accepted card. However she wanted to go against the grain without advertising the fact. In my opinion I would suggest that people give this bar a miss and use the other bars because they were amazing.

What a beautiful square! And what an atmosphere! Tourists, locals, market, flower stands, horse calesas, cafes, beautiful shops... Magical space with colored medieval guild houses, with their typical gable roofs. Logically, it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's all taken care of to the millimeter. It leaves you speechless.

The Markt is the heart of Bruges, full of restaurants, cafes, and historic buildings. The lively square is perfect for people-watching and enjoying local cuisine. The horse-drawn carriages add to the medieval charm. It’s a great starting point for exploring the city, with beautiful architecture and bustling activity.

This square is a little bigger than Burg square but with the same magic. Looking at the buildings it looks like a model because it doesn't look real. Like the other square, at night it is also magical because it is much quieter. Unmissable

We came to the Bruges Christmas Market with Darla on Christmas Eve to celebrate the festive month and it was lovely. We went to a lovely cafe to have a hot chocolate and were seated outside. We then looked around the market and it was lovely but there’s a massive treatment difference to small/medium and big dogs, small dog were allowed in every dog friendly store and cafes but you can see shopkeeper/cafe workers faces looking as if to say “don’t even think about coming in” but apart from that it was lovely. Just keep it in mind if you have a big dog, bring warm clothes and someone to hold them if you want to go into dog friendly places! It was very lovely and I recommend.

Not to be missed. Beautiful place, like the whole city, by the way But flee the establishments that line the square and charge you dearly for suspicious dishes; possibly a drink on the terrace? You pay for the place.

Beautiful square with everything you need, monuments, restaurants, shops. The carriage rides, on the other hand, are very expensive... We wanted to please our child but 70€... The chocolates and waffles cost us less with a good digestive walk.
