Day 1: Switzerland - Brussels

Journey to Brussels. Arrival at around 18:00. With its majestic old town and unique atmosphere somewhere between city and village, Brussels has more to offer than is generally assumed. You probably think of the capital of Belgium and Europe, the Atomium and mussels with chips. But that is by no means all! The city offers a rich cultural, gastronomic and festive programme, not to mention its heritage: the Grand-Place, the historic buildings, the famous chocolatiers and much more.

The Christmas markets

At the Brussels Christmas market Plaisirs d'Hiver, with its more than 200 chalets, the heart of the city beats during the festive season. On the Grand-Place, a majestic 22m-high Christmas tree stretches its branches towards the sky, while the facades of the venerable guild houses glow in the light of the sound and light show.

The Winter Lights in Bruges combine various Christmas and winter activities: the classic Christmas market, an ice rink in a picturesque setting and atmospheric light installations.

In the heart of Brussels' old town, you will be welcomed to the 3* Bedford Hotel (official national category), a boutique hotel just 450 m from the Grand-Place. Rooms with bath or shower/WC, hairdryer, TV and Wi-Fi. The hotel also has a restaurant and a bar. Equivalent hotel if unavailable.
