Brussels this December really is the place for the whole family to be. While there is no doubting that the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park is great family fun, it pales in comparison with Winter Wonders in Brussels.
Taking place right in the heart of Brussels – the Place Sainte Catherine is almost an equivalent of Leicester Square in London – and lasting until the 3rd of January 2010, it is not exaggeration to say that Winter Wonders alone merits a trip to Brussels.
This is because there is both fun for the children and fun for the adults.
Undoubtedly, children tend to enjoy ice skating more than adults: with the onset of middle age and the associated weight gain, many adults seem to take the pain of falling over a lot worse than their offspring do. But there is no doubt that children will enjoy skating on the ice-rink temporarily erected under the large ferris wheel at the end of the market.
Meanwhile, adults can enjoy the Christmas market: part of the mammoth Winter Wonders is that there are 240 wooden chalets placed all around this event where Christmas presents can be bought and mulled wine can be sipped.
With the event also including street entertainment, fun rides and live music, it really is worth a visit to Brussels just for Winter Wonders. Make sure you do.
