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.

Grote Markt/Grand Place

Does this location need any introduction? Anyway, we absolutely loved the Christmas tree, which originates from Slovakia.

Beurs/Bourse

Where people gather to celebrate… New this year: Impulsion, luminous and sound-animated seesaws!

Sainte-Catherine Church

Origami, an audiovisual show, highlights contemporary and traditional Japan. Stalls sell Japanese specialties.

Sint-Katelijneplein/Place Sainte-Catherine

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.
