The Christmas market season has started!

Wintertime Antwerp and Brussels are full of cheerful lights, campfires, and glühwein.

Travel affordably, efficiently and adventurously by European Sleeper night train to the most beautiful Christmas markets in Belgium. 

Brussels

From 24 November to 31 December, the center of Brussels is all about winter fun. With more than 200 market stalls, your Christmas fun will never end. This year you will find the most stalls at the Vismarkt. You can also go skating on De Brouckerèplein. And every evening you can enjoy a sound and light show on the Grote Markt. This show is UNESCO World Heritage and you really don't want to miss it!

Brussels

Antwerp

From 8 December to 7 January, Antwerp turns its center into one large Christmas market. It is one of the largest Christmas markets in Belgium. You can skate to your heart's content on the ice rink of no less than 1200 m². The Ferris wheel on Steenplein is a must-do during Christmas. Enjoy a view of Antwerp, illuminated in Christmas atmosphere.
