Winter Wonderland in Brussels
- Posted 24 Nov 2023
The season of Christmas markets is upon us, bringing with it numerous delights that Brussels residents eagerly anticipate each year. Indeed, how can one resist the temptation to stroll along the charming stalls, be dazzled by light shows, or try a few twirls on the ice rink? Winter delights are endless in Brussels, to the point that even the cold has a hard time dampening the spirits! However, when the teeth start chattering and the body becomes numb, VIAGE invites you to continue your quest for seasonal pleasures at VIAGE CHILL! Be welcome there all winter long.
The enchanting Christmas market in Brussels is undoubtedly one of the most popular in Belgium. Between the Bourse, Place Sainte-Catherine, and Marché aux Poissons, more than 240 stalls parade side by side, delighting our five senses. The ideal starting point for this winter stroll, the Christmas tree on the Grand Place stands majestically, pointing to the light show by artist Leilani Shaw, which extends across the imposing facades of the beautiful surrounding buildings. A stone's throw away, on Place De Brouckère, the child within you will emerge at the call of the covered ice rink and curling rink, animated by the set of a DJ with a diverse repertoire, reflecting the musical eclecticism of the Brussels residents. What more could you ask for to have a memorable day?
