YES, the Grand Place Brussels is the most beautiful square in the world. And at the end of the year, it is adorned with its best assets. The tree is the most beautiful in years. There I am divided between admiration and Wouldn't it have been better to leave it in its natural environment? Anyway, let’s get carried away by the magic of Christmas.
Great markets and fun for everyone

Went to the markets with my fiance and had a great time. there is a number of locations which have different things to the others, all within walking distance of each other. The light and music show at Grand Place is amazing, all reasonably priced drinks and food. You have to pay a €1 deposit for a plastic beaker/cup but you get that back easily. Well worth a visit for all ages
Great Time at The Brussels Christmas Market

It was a great idea to book Milton as our host. He was both considered and very nice. He guided us to the Christmans market, Grand Plaz, Cathedral, Royal Palace and lots more. He is very familiar and up to date in the history of the city. We really enjoyed his company.
Excellent tour! Our guide was very...

Excellent tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. He was also very accommodating as I had broken a bone in my foot right before our trip and was wearing a boot. Brussels was spectacular this time of year and this was the perfect way to see it!
