As a local, I can confidently say that there’s a good reason to discover Brussels every season! However, I must admit that there’s something special about visiting Brussels at Christmas. In this post, I’m sharing 20 of my favourite pictures of Brussels during the Winter and Christmas season hoping to convince you to visit it next year!
When is the best time to visit Brussels during Winter?
Brussels’ Christmas markets and activities usually start in late November until early January. In 2022, it was open between November 25 until January 1. In any case, make sure to plan your trip during this time range to enjoy Brussels in its winter coat! It would be a shame to miss the city during this period which is definitely one of the best times of the year to visit Brussels in my opinion.
