Alternatively, meet us at our destination – Brugge! This historic Belgian city has so much to offer including amazing architecture, delicious food and a great festive atmosphere! After checking into our hostel in the middle of the city, take it all in on our walking tour, before your chance to wander through the amazing Brugge Christmas markets, sampling traditional Christmas foods and maybe even some delicious mulled wine. Tonight get to know your group better at our included dinner where you can try some of the local delicacies. This evening is your chance to hit the town and maybe try some of Belgium’s famous beers!

After breakfast the morning is yours to do as you please. Wander the medieval streets, watch the world go by in one of the many cafes in Market Square or stock up on gifts at the Brugge Christmas markets. This afternoon we say our sad farewells to Belgium, heading to Calais via a chocolate shop to stock up on delicious Belgian treat, before we catch our ferry to England, where the trip finishes this evening at the Clink Hostel. Upon arrival back in London, we say our fond farewells to our Topdeck companions! (B)

Destination Information

Beyond the city of Brussels with its historic Gothic buildings and tall European Union office blocks, is a treasure-trove of undiscovered lazy seaside towns, and the inland wooded gorges of the splendid Ardennes, sprinkled with medieval castles and steeped in folklore. The medieval city of Bruges has character and charm galore with a rich architectural heritage, graceful canals, winding waterways and cobbled streets, and is a favourite with visitors. Belgium is a country that has inspired many artists and writers with the charm of its Gothic cathedrals, town halls, gabled guildhouses and rich museums.
