Three Christmas days for your group: Winter Wonders in Brussels, the Ghent market and its quays, then Bruges and its canals.
This three-day trip brings together Belgium’s finest Christmas markets without long hours on the road. Brussels opens the festivities with Winter Wonders, its stalls from the Stock Exchange to Sainte-Catherine and the sound and light show on the UNESCO-listed Grand Place. Ghent takes over with its stalls around St Bavo’s Cathedral and Korenmarkt, its three towers and the illuminated Graslei quays, where your group stays for two nights. On the last day, Bruges reveals its Markt, Belfry, the Burg and its canals before the journey home. Clubs, associations, committees or groups of friends from 20 participants: departure from the place of your choice and a pace suited to your group.
