Departure

December 21

The cobbled streets and pretty squares of Belgium’s Capital spring to life with festive fun at the Brussels Winter Wonders event. With over 250 snow-dusted market chalets, buzzing bars and pop-up restaurants, Brussels Christmas Market is perfect for those last-minute stocking fillers. Get a bird’s eye view from the top of the ferris wheel or take a spin on the merry-go-round as the sweet, spicy scents of waffles and Glühwein drifts through the air.

Itinerary

We depart late Friday night/in the early hours of Saturday morning and travel south for our crossing to Calais. After a short channel crossing, we continue to the centre of European culture and institutions, Brussels.

On arrival, we drop you at central station where it’s just a short walk to many attractions. The day is then yours to spend how you please. This Capital City, full of architectural splendour is the home of almost 90 museums as well as the Royal Gardens and beautiful parks. With cafés and bars, chocolates and beer, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

Every December, Brussels is completely transformed and turned into a fairy-tale. Its unique atmosphere engulfs you in the magical world of Christmas. Festively decorated squares, ice rinks, Ferris wheels, light shows – all your wishes for a magical holiday come true. Not to mention that the city is home to the biggest Christmas market in Belgium!

The Brussels Christmas Market takes place in several different squares in the city. More than 250 wooden stalls are spread out over the entire Capital, giving the city a gorgeous festive look. The most famous locations are the Gland-Place (where the Christmas tree is) and Marché aux Poissons.

In fact, the Brussels Christmas Market is just one part of a much bigger event called the Winter Wonders. This event also includes a fun Christmas Parade, shows and events (some ticketed), a sound and light show at the Grand Place and much more!

The coach departs in the evening, and we make our way back to Calais for our channel crossing back to the UK, before arriving at our pickup points late Saturday night/early Sunday morning.

Please note admissions to museums and monuments are not included
