A more enchanting setting to set up a Christmas market than Bruges city centre, with all its narrow alleys and medieval buildings, is not easy to find in the world. With 84 wooden chalets around the statue of Jan Breydel and Pieter De Coninck on the Market, you get a real Christmas feeling on the Bruges Christmas market. You'll find food and drink stalls with heartwarming mulled wine or a steaming bratwurst.

The city of Antwerp also welcomes you in a magical winter wonderland during the end of the year.

Winterland Hasselt is more than a Christmas market with chalets and tents around an ice rink. In the center is the house of Santa Claus, exactly as it looks on the Arctic Circle in Lapland. Children can see what Santa Claus does during the busy winter months. Amazing selfies guaranteed!

At the brand new Christmas market, Winter in the Park, in Ostend you can already enjoy a hot chocolate with Baileys, a gin of your choice or a steaming bowl of soup. Combine that with some last-minute Christmas shopping in the beautifully decorated center and your Christmas spirit will be complete.

In the charming city of Leuven, the Christmas market is located around the Ladeuzeplein and the Herbert Hooverplein.
