Got a few days off in December and me and the missus were looking for a 2 night break and possibly a Xmas market.
Anyone been..is it worth the hype guys and what to do whilst there etc.

Yes go and enjoy yourself! Beer museum is there, but it's mostly strong stuff which I wasn't a fan of. Anyone been..is it worth the hype guys and what to do whilst there etc.

Took my 12 year old daughter there for a weekend in June. Was a really nice trip, beer, chocolate, museums, boat trips, bell tower etc. Probably wouldn't spend much more than a day or two there, you'd have already seen it all.
We stayed at the Radisson Blu. It's located next to the bus station, otherwise 10-15 minute walk to the centre. Was far higher class than the price would suggest with an excellent bar/restaurant.

I haven't been for a long while but always enjoyed Bruges at Christmas apart for the occasion I had a card cloned in one of the restaurants in the square. Ice sculptures near the railway station were worth a visit as was the Half Moon Brewery and we found some excellent restaurants tucked away; Gouden Karpel was a favourite.
The diamond museum is also worth a visit

And its very pretty, but you can get used to it. You can get a train to Brussels ans do two amazing museums

The car museum, and the otger side of the building is a military/plane museum

(Bruges Zot)Ended up in here https://goo.gl/maps/mxqE5FHEbBmpfaQ37 (great atmosphere) and asked for a local beer so got Bruges Zot. We started talking to a local (old boy - he said was 70-something) and ended up doing rounds with him. I must say table service and payment is so much more civilised than queueing at the bar. Anyway, by the time the race finished we were pretty hammered and had to escape for emergency pizza to try to sober up!
Visited with friends a few years ago. Great for walk around, Xmas markets were okay. Great bars and restaurants.
However, and no one ever seems to mention this but the town centre smelt terribly. It was rancid s
t from the sewage underneath the roads. All across the town. Made me think it was from all the strong beer and no wonder they make so much chocolate, to try and hide the stench.
Great place. Just stinks like a public toilet the day after a big drinking session.
