Are these details incorrect?

1. Steenstraat and Zuidzandstraat

The main shopping area links the Markt to ’t Zand. Clothes, shoes, chocolates – they’re all here.
2. Zilverpand

This warren of arcades between Zuidzandstraat and Noordzandstraat consists mainly of clothes boutiques.
3. Chocoladehuisje

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.
4. The Bottle Shop

Bruges has two well-known breweries, De Gouden Boom and De Halve Maan. The Bottle Shop sells their beers, plus the full Belgian range.
5. The Little Lace Shop

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.
6. The Tintin Shop

Good for the whole gamut of Tintin merchandise.
7. Huis Van Loocke

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.
8. Pollentier-Maréchal

This fine shop sells old prints, many of them of Bruges.
9. Markets

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.
10. Supermarkets

The major supermarkets (such as Louis Delhaize) are in the suburbs, but a few small ones, such as Profi, lie within the city.
