About Markt

Walk in the beautiful city to Bruges will make you feel like you have stepped back into the medieval times! The gorgeous cobblestones in the city aren’t the only attraction in Bruges. That is apart from the scrumptious chocolates and extremely satisfying pints of beers. You can be sure to add a visit to the Markt or the market square to your bucket list as well. This is a very huge market center in the city that is a famous tourist spot. Although called a square, it looks more like a circle. You can stand by the large statue in the middle and soak in the vibe of the surroundings. While by the statue, you can also turn a full circle to get a glimpse of the extraordinarily beautiful buildings surrounding the market square! It is quite a sight to behold. Since 1995, this area has been declared car-free. So, you can expect to see horse-drawn carriages and people walking on foot soaking in the atmosphere of the area. Indulge yourself by sitting in one of the many market side cafes and form memories for a lifetime!
