With autumn now officially here, many of us will be thinking about Christmas gifts and trips. Christmas markets are a great way to get into the festive spirit, with their many stalls, decorations and delicious treats, and there’s a current deal that will save shoppers some cash.
There’s a Bruges Christmas Markets Day Trip, which includes return coach and ferry travel from six pick-up points, currently available on Wowcher for £79, reduced from £139. Shoppers will save 43% with this deal, so it’s worth taking a look.
The Bruges Christmas Markets Day Trip is perfect for anyone looking for unique gifts or just to enjoy a day out with friends and family. Plus, if travellers haven’t yet visited Bruges in Belgium, this offer ticks multiple boxes.
Wowcher says there are coach pick-up points from London Victoria, Bexleyheath, Maidstone Services, Sainsbury’s at New Cross Gate, Hammersmith Apollo and Dover Port. The Bruges Christmas Markets Day Trip departs on selected dates from November 22 until December 21 2025 and at different times, depending on the pick-up location.
Along with the return coach travel, there’s a return ferry crossing between Dover and Calais included. There’s duty-free shopping available onboard the ferry on the return journey to the UK, so shoppers can grab their favourite goodies.
While in Bruges, shoppers will have a full day, up to seven hours, to explore the city and the different Christmas markets. With twinkling lights, an ice skating rink and festive performances, along with Belgian waffles, mulled wine and its famous hot chocolate, shoppers will be dazzled and spoilt for choice.
