Between late November and early January, Brussels transforms into a festive wonderland, beckoning visitors to immerse themselves in its charming Christmas spirit. Partake in a complimentary Christmas walking tour and explore local markets filled with unique gifts, beautiful decorations, and mouth-watering treats.
Tour Overview
The sweet aroma of seasonal desserts, dazzling lights illuminating the streets, and festive wreaths adorn the cityscape, enhancing the joyous ambiance of Christmas in Brussels. We will gather at the iconic Grand-Place, where this complimentary Christmas experience commences with a view of the splendidly lit tree in the heart of the square.
Here, aides to Santa Claus and the Three Kings can be seen as they distribute gifts in Brussels’ most celebrated square. After examining the various market stalls, our journey will take us to the Manneken Pis, dressed for the occasion. Next, we will proceed to the Church of St. Nicholas to unveil the local reverence for this beloved saint.
The tour continues as we navigate the vicinity of the Bourse Palace and the Notre-Dame de Bon Secours. Following this, our exploration leads us to Place Sainte-Catherine, home to the church of the same name, where you can discover traditional Belgian Christmas delicacies available in the market. Noteworthy treats include cougnou and hearty dishes such as stoemp aux chicons & lardons, along with the delicious tartiflettes and the widely enjoyed spirit known as peket.
For those interested, a classic hot mulled wine awaits at various festive wooden stalls scattered throughout the city center, totaling over 250 stalls during this cheerful season. These stands not only serve beverages but also offer dishes, gifts, and decorative items for you to peruse.
To conclude, we will stroll through the stunning Place de Brouckère and the Royal Theatre of La Monnaie, passing by the notable Galerías Reales de Saint-Hubert. This 1.5 to 2-hour walking experience culminates in the city center, where you can continue to enjoy the enchanting Christmas atmosphere of Brussels at your leisure.
