Winter Wonders in Brussels – Photo Essay

By Ingridd @cosytraveler

Winter Wonders is the official English name of Brussels’ Christmas market and all its activities. And it happens to be our favorite event of the year!

Muntplein/Place de la Monnaie

This is where Lars and I started our visit. In recent years, this place has become the home for the ice skating ring.

Lars and I always end our visit to the Christmas market here. We had some pasta and a couple of “jenevers” before we returned home.
