Things to do in Bruges, Flanders: The Best Shopping

March 9, 2022 Carley Gatson

What could be more romantic and inspiring than a place that looks like a backdrop for a fairy tale? The medieval overtones of Bruges’ cobblestone streets lead to countless historical, architectural and artistic wonders. Marvel at ornate houses lining intricate canals, and understand why this is a favorite destination for all types of travelers. The whole city emanates an appreciation of the past, a love of the present, and enthusiasm for the future. Don’t miss Hof Bladelin, Groeninge Museum, Church of Our Lady, and Belfry and Market Halls.

Depla Chocolatier

Reviewed By Salycka - Newport Pagnell, United Kingdom

We heard about Pol Depla, Chocolatier on the Belgian television yesterday morning and decided to visit as they make all of their chocolate from the cocoa beans themselves (they import these by sailing boat as it’s more environmentally friendly). We bought some chocolates and then went next door for our hot chocolate. There were three choices, dark, milk or white chocolate, we had milk. Each hot chocolate is served as a mug of hot milk and the chocolate on a wooden spoon. You stir the chocolate into the milk yourself as it melts, mmm! The service was excellent, they speak Flemmish, French and English and each drink was served with a delicious chocolate. We liked it so much that we went back the next day too and wish we’d found it on our first day in Bruges!

This is a review of t'Apostelientje online shop which I discovered thanks to the other reviews on Tripadvisor, when looking to buy authentic Belgian lace online. What a pleasant shopping experience it has been and what a joy it is to receive parcels from Anne! I placed a few orders already and all the pieces that I received were unique, beautiful works of art! Anne promptly responded to all of my messages, emailed me photos of the pieces that I was interested in and gave an honest opinion on the lace condition. The parcels arrived quickly to the UK and, to my great delight, sometimes included lovely little gifts as gestures of good will-- as I became a very frequent customer! :) Thank you very much Anne! I highly recommend your online shop and I truly look forward to visiting your actual shop when the pandemic situation is over. L Barakat

Chocolates & Happiness

The chocolate boutique in Bruges where you can find happiness in small things. Located in the stately townhouse "The Peckepuut" near the Belfry. Gino and Sofie will gladly spoil you with their fine chocolates, artisan products, and stylish souvenirs.

Reviewed By 446arlenec

Came across this fantastic chocolate shop. The owner was so lovely. The shop is run by him and his wife and they make all the chocolate themselves.. they had the most beautiful lipsticks, wine bottles and shoes all moulded in chocolate. Fantastic gift ideas and gorgeous wrapping and packaging. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you!
