Although the Belgian franc has officially been replaced by the euro in 2002, many shops still have their prices in francs. This usually means that there are two prices on a product, both in euros and in francs.
Once again I''m going to mention beer. For a souvenir, find yourself a few bottles of really good beer that you cannot get at home. 75 cl bottles often can be bought in gift packaging. Or buy a set of smaller bottles with the accompanying glass.Other nice souvenirs are cheese and chocolate, of which you will find a good choice.
Not actually a shopping paradise when comparing with Hong Kong. But when comparing with other european cities, products in Brugge are quite fashionable yet very expensive, for clothes, shoes or eating out.
A whole village dedicated to shopping... I know, I know... Yes, "Another one" you may say.But look, this one is different from others we have in Belgium.It's all about chic and casual shopping but with lighter bills. How is it possible? Maasmechelen Village boutiques display discount prices of preceeding year's collection. The cut is reported to level, at least, at 33% of the preceeding year' s prices.A wide range of brand names, Belgian as well as international ones. Both Prêt-à-porter and casual brand names. Sometimes even, couture: say "Versace", they have it. "Tommy Hilfiger", it's waiting for you, with TH Denim too. Scapa, Nicole Cadine, Pepe Jeans, UC of Benetton and many more... even Petit Bateau, soo cute!If the idea of wearing last year collection freezes you bit, have a look at the website to see some windowdisplay. The place is children-friendly, offers several amenities...
Lace and tapestries are big business in Brugge. I made the mistake of making my first purchase near the Markt Square. Later that day while biking, I picked up another item, very similiar, in a shop many blocks from the square for almost half the price.
All major Belgian cities have shops with a good selection of cartoon things for sale. Some specialise in the magazines themselves, such as Tintin, the Smurfs and more unknown Belgian ones but some also sell sweaters, mugs, decorations and fun things with cartoon figures - not always Belgian ones so you will inavoidably come across a load of Looney Tunes and such non Belgian stuff too...Best of all is the Cartoon Museum shop in Brussels but there is also a good one on the road to Manneken Pis (they know where to rake in the money) and in several towns, such as Brugge, there are special Tintin shops with more exclusive gifts such as printed towels. My own favourite? Marsupilami!!! Hubba hubba :-)))
Being a pocket-size sort of country, Belgium is cheap to get around in, but budget hotels are both rare and heavily booked - especially in summer. On the food front, eating out is far better for your palate than it is for your wallet. Travelling modestly, you could survive on $30 per day. But if you don't fancy sleeping in public toilets, figure on at least $50 per day.Banks are the best place to change your money, charging around US$4 commission on travellers' cheques. Out of hours, there are the less generous exchange bureaus. All major credit cards are widely accepted. Tipping isn't obligatory, and haggling is not exactly a national pastime.
