Have you visited a European Christmas Market before?! I’d love to hear in the comments where you went! ❄I hope this cozy vlog taking you through Brussels Christmas Markets excites you for the holiday season ahead. 🎄 As always, thanks for watching!!
As Brit. I Have visited Christmas Market so many times. My very first time experiencing snowfall was when I was a little. I was mind blown Been all around acroos Western Europe. France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland in my life
Wow, Brussels looks absolutely magical during Christmas 2024! The snow at the Grand Place, the 360 Light Show, and the Winter Wonders make it look like a true winter paradise. Thanks for sharing this stunning festive experience! Best wishes, Chiara & Donato Fuoridalsentiero.
Awww!! Thank you so much, Ellen!! 💜 it is indeed so beautiful. Hehe, and of course…the fries and waffles are a main part of the trip, so had to be included 🤭😋
Aw! Grazie mille per aver guardato e commentato. Il Natale è anche la mia festa preferita e i mercatini la rendono molto più festosa. Sono così felice che ti sia piaciuto!! 🎄✨
It snowed when we visited Brussels in early December last year! A friend of ours who lives there said it was unseasonable that time of year, so it was lucky we experienced it! 🌨️
It is indeed a great Christmas market! Yes, they should have opened yesterday (29th of November) and run until the 5th of January, 2025. How cool you're getting to visit Brussels' Christmas markets twice. I hope you have a great time!
I’m so glad to hear it was!! Did you get to see the light show on the Grand Place? I haven’t visited the German Christmas markets before but they also sound beautiful!
We've visited a handful of times in the past couple of years and find Brussels quite safe! While there is a lot of nightlife and (sometimes) chaos in the city center, we have felt secure being in the middle of it all. There are usually groups of police patrolling these areas. We're street smart and definitely aware of our surroundings, and we also haven't felt uncomfortable being out and about in Brussels day or night.
I just looked up Lisbon's Christmas markets and they look beautiful! How fun that the city decorates. I'm sure it's magical. I've visited Lisbon before during the summer!
Can you get by speaking English in Brussels, especially in the restaurants?? I don’t speak French or Dutch, so I was just wondering. I really want to visit Brussels one day. Do you and your best friend speak any languages other than English??
Great question! You absolutely can! Within the city center, nearly everyone speaks multiple languages, with English being one of them. We have visited the last two years and had no problem speaking English everywhere we went (especially in cafes, restaurants, etc.) We are learning other languages and like to know how to say a handful of words when we’re in non-English speaking countries, but Brussels seems to be very adapted to English speakers! I hope you get a chance to visit Brussels one day! Belgium is a beautiful country and Brussels is such a bustling and gorgeous city!!
Aww!!! Thank you so very much!! This means a ton to me to hear; what an incredible complement. Having people like you be a part of my community is such a gift. I appreciate you!! 😊🤗
Have you been to Tomorrowland in Belgium? This is THE HIGHLIGHT. It’s the best festival in the world. I am obsessed with their Neuhaus chocolates. I buy them in Milano but they are much cheaper in Belgium. The ganache corns are to die for. 😅 My Belgian friends don’t like Brussels, they advised us to go to Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, Diant and lots of other places in Wallonia. I have been 5 times to Belgium and never saw Brussels. It looks amazing in your video.
What a fun comment! I haven't been to Tomorrowland (yet... 😆) but was recently talking about going with some friends. I'm happy to hear you loved it and thought it was incredible. The chocolates sound so good. We are obsessed with the waffles in Belgium, and always get them doused in their milk chocolate, haha. How cool you've visited those other cities. We've visited Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent before, and really liked them, too! Brussels is definitely a bigger city vibe, which we love. I'm so glad you watched this video and thought it looked amazing! I so appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment as well!!
@ Have you visited Italy? If you ever come to Milano I can give you some amazing advice. We have a lot of hidden gems. I love Belgium, just not the weather 🤣 First time we visited Belgium it was around 40 degrees, as Belgium especially Flanders is full build, there isn’t much air. Me as Italian, who’s used to the heat it was way too warm for me. Second time it rained the 5 days we were there 😂 I love the Liege waffles but with nothing on top. And the purple cuberdon candies.
I love Italy and have luckily visited a handful of times! It's amazing, and one of my favorite countries in Europe. I've been to Milan a few times and would be interested to hear about other hidden gems in the city. We climbed to the top of the Duomo di Milano when we were there last summer and that was really cool. Yes, the Liege waffles are my favorite kind!! I've had them "plain" as well, and they are delicious!

@@IMadeYouAnItineraryFun Fact, it's the Belgians who came up with French Fries.

It’s already snowing there?? During what time did you go if i may ask
It snowed when we visited Brussels in early December last year! A friend of ours who lives there said it was unseasonable that time of year, so it was lucky we experienced it! 🌨️
Very Nice Xmas market. But it didnt open till today right?
Went last year, going tomorrow.

@IMadeYouAnItinerary it was indeed amazing again! Better and way bigger than the German ones in dusseldorf/ essen area.
I’m so glad to hear it was!! Did you get to see the light show on the Grand Place? I haven’t visited the German Christmas markets before but they also sound beautiful!
I’m interested in going to Brussels. How safe did you find it?

Lisbon! Come and visit us.
