Brussels is an exciting place to be in during Christmas. The capital city of Belgium with its architectural wonders, famous Christmas markets, majestic decorations and affable people make you savor every bit of festivity.
The Christmas market at Place St. Catherine with over 100 exhibitors offers a complete variety of unique arts and crafts items, jewelry, decorations etc. Here, the aroma of the delicious
food, the dazzling Christmas decorations, and the warmth of people are guaranteed to make you go WOW.
The ice skating rink at the Marché aux Poissons is a complete fun zone. Keeping in mind the interest of the younger ones, a separate rink for them is also set up. We bet, you and your kids will have a whale of a time zig zagging on the frozen ice.
A visit to Grand Place Square decorated with twinkling lights is also a must do. This year (2006), the proposed display of a nativity scene and children's theatre promises to add more color to the celebrations. You should also try the Big Wheel in Brussels, situated next to the Christmas markets, which offers a great view of the city.
The plays and nativity scenes are a common part of the celebrations in the villages. The children are greeted with the visit of St. Nicholas on December 4th and 6th and are either awarded or pulled up according to their past deeds.
While in the city, the restaurants, clubs, and bars leave no stone turned in arrangement of corporate & social Christmas functions. The elaborate menus, the spectacular Christmas decorations and the enthralling performances of the artists create a perfect ambience for you to let down your hair and enjoy.
Pack up, and head straight to Brussels this year. Your Christmas celebrations will indeed go rocking.
Happy Christmas!
