One market in Bruges, Belgium, with confirmed 2026 dates. The market opens every day, and weekdays are quieter than weekends.
Bruges has no airport. Fly to Brussels, then take the direct train from Brussels Airport (1h 25min each way). The trips below are to Brussels: their hours in the city count the short ride into Brussels, so allow about 2 hours less in Bruges. The leave-by times further down are worked out for Bruges.

Works as a day trip
On Tuesdays with the 21:50 home to London Heathrow: you're in Bruges 11:15 to 17:55 and the market is open all of it. About an hour of that is after dark.
Getting there: Fly to Brussels, then the direct train from Brussels Airport, 85 min. Fare not confirmed. Tickets from the airport include the €6.90 Brussels Airport Supplement.
How the day-or-night answer works: the latest flight home, minus 85 minutes back to the airport, minus 90 minutes at the airport. The 90 minutes is our assumption. Flight times are the saved winter timetable, not a booking.
Before flights and the train, and without the optional drink. Rough guide prices from our destination data, not a quote.
