-
There are chocolate shops at every turn in Bruges. The big names are on Steenstraat and Zuidzandstraat, but try the Chocoladehuisje for its imaginative (sometimes lewd) designs.
-
Bruges is so picturesque that it attracts numerous artists, and several excellent shops cater for their needs. This one has been run by the same family for three generations.
-
General markets are in the Markt (Wednesday mornings) and on ’t Zand (Saturday mornings). There is also a small but magical Christmas market in the Markt. Flea markets are held weekend afternoons on Dijver and at the Vismarkt.
-
This fine shop sells old prints, many of them of Bruges.
-
The main shopping area links the Markt to ’t Zand. Clothes, shoes, chocolates – they’re all here.
-
The major supermarkets (such as Louis Delhaize) are in the suburbs, but a few small ones, such as Profi, lie within the city.
-
Bruges has two well-known breweries, De Gouden Boom and De Halve Maan. The Bottle Shop sells their beers, plus the full Belgian range.
-
There are still some lacemakers in Bruges, though not the 10,000 there were in 1840. For the genuine article go to a reliable outlet such as this, the oldest (founded 1923) and smallest.
-
Good for the whole gamut of Tintin merchandise.
-
This warren of arcades between Zuidzandstraat and Noordzandstraat consists mainly of clothes boutiques.
