About
Winter Wonders links six squares in central Brussels into one long trail of chalets, rides and lights. In the evening the Grand-Place hosts a sound and light show. For the 25th edition, Béarn and the Basque Country are guests of honour with their own village on Place de la Bourse, and an exhibition on Place Royale looks back on 25 years of the event. On 12 and 13 December the Creators Factory brings Brussels makers to the Bourse. Tip: visit on a weekday or early afternoon, as weekend evenings get very crowded.
