3The Winter Wonders Festival, Belgium
The world-famous Winter Wonders Festival is held in Brussels. It runs from November 29 through January 5th. Brussels, like other major metropolises, hosts more than one Christmas market. Veteran visitors suggest attending the one at the Grand-Place.
Those in the know say this place is the very “heart of the Winter Wonders Festival” and is marked by a gigantic Christmas tree. One of the highlights is the sound and light show that goes on every half hour. There’s even a big Ferris wheel that provides incredible views of the city. Don’t forget the waffles either!
