Today we include a visit to Bruges. Known as the 'Venice of the North', it is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, where canals crossed with pretty, humpback bridges and winding, cobbled streets lead to picturesque market squares. The famous Belfry is one of the city’s most prominent symbols, towering above the city.

Christmas Eve - Brussels
Today, we include a full-day excursion to Brussels. Located in the heart of the city is the majestic Grand Place, a square surrounded by ornate guild houses. Elegant cafés also line the square, offering a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy a coffee or beer. Around the centre, narrow streets lead out to a number of museums, interesting shops and restaurants. The city is particularly proud of the 17th century Manneken Pis, the famous statue of a naked boy ‘taking a leak’ on a street corner. Also worth a visit is the Rue des Bouchers (Butcher’s Street), a quaint street lined with restaurant after restaurant displaying impressive arrays of lobster, crab, mussels and fish. The Sablon is another part of the city renowned for its delicious fare. It boasts many antique shops as well as its numerous café’s, taverns, wine bars and chic restaurants.
