Winter Wonders turns central Brussels into a festive city stroll. Combine market browsing and lights with time around the Grand-Place, so the celebration opens up the city rather than replacing it.

Destination background

The Grand-Place or Grote Markt is the central square of Brussels, Belgium. It is surrounded by opulent Baroque guildhalls of the former Guilds of Brussels and two larger edifices: the city's Flamboyant Town Hall, and the neo-Gothic King's House or Bread House building, housing the Brussels City Museum. The square measures 68 by 110 metres and is entirely paved.
