Holy Mackerel! I was not prepared for Brussels. I highly recommend it. It was on fire! Very…read morepedestrian. Very young and hip. By the end of the day, I was overwhelmed at the size of the crowd.
After spending Thanksgiving in Paris, my wife and I decided to take a day trip to Brussels. I am a fan of European Christmas markets, and I heard Brussels has the biggest. (Full disclosure, I have not yet been to a German market.)
The market opened on Saturday, November 28, 2025. The market was gigantic. I don't know if there was one market or just a bunch of little markets strung together. Either way, it was fun.
