The 3 markets on the Bruges map, market by market
On the map, the 3 pins sit in the historic centre, pins 1 and 3 on the Markt. Pins 1 and 2 are one Winter Glow (Wintergloed) Christmas Market on two squares, with goods and dates under Bruges's Christmas Markets.
1. Christmas Market on the Markt
Pin 1 marks the Markt (Markt, 8000 Brugge) in the historic centre, the square at the foot of the Belfry, at the centre point of the map. In Dutch it is the Kerstmarkt op de Markt. The Stadshallen, home of pin 3, stand on the same square. No entry ticket is needed.

2. Christmas Market on Simon Stevin Square
Pin 2 stands on Simon Stevinplein (Simon Stevinplein, 8000 Brugge), 0.3 km south of the centre point and 0.2 km in a straight line from the Markt. Sint-Salvatorskathedraal, with the wooden nativity scene beside it, is close by. About 0.6 km away, a park holds the IJsgloed Winter Bar beside the skating rink of Winter Glow.

3. Handmade in Brugge MAKERSmarkt
Pin 3 points to the Jan Garemijnzaal inside the Stadshallen (City Halls), Markt 7, 8000 Brugge, 0.1 km south-east of the centre point. The hall opens onto the Markt itself, so pins 1 and 3 share one square, but this market is held indoors. No entry ticket is needed.

Getting around the Christmas Markets in Bruges
On the map, the 3 pins lie close together in the historic centre, and these gaps are straight lines, not walking routes. Seen from the centre point of the map, the Christmas Market on the Markt (1) sits right at it, the Handmade in Brugge MAKERSmarkt (3) is 0.1 km to the south-east and the Christmas Market on Simon Stevin Square (2) is 0.3 km to the south.
The Markt and Simon Stevin Square, pins 1 and 2, are 0.2 km apart. From Simon Stevin Square to the Stadshallen, pin 3, the gap is also 0.2 km. The MAKERSmarkt hall stands on the Markt itself.
The Visit Bruges entry for the two squares gives the season dates, the weekly hours and the location of pins 1 and 2. The Visit Bruges page on the MAKERSmarkt gives its dates, daily hours and venue.
