Belgium Christmas Markets

Our Christmas holidays to Belgium allow you to savour many of the typically Belgian delicacies, from Belgian Waffles and delicious chocolates made by Artisan chocolatiers, to specialist Belgian beers and traditional French Fries available from various street vendors scattered around the towns. The weather in Belgium at Christmas is much milder than other European countries due to its warmer oceanic climate and snowfall is rare. That is not to say, however, that the Belgian Christmas Markets are any less festive because of it.

The stalls have on sale various seasonal gifts and Christmas decorations, hand-crafted lace, trinkets, confectionary and other Belgian delights. Our rail holidays take you to a handful of the finest Belgian Christmas Markets, which ones you choose to visit on your Christmas break is up to you! Our experienced Tour Manager will be on hand the entire time should you need any assistance, or if you prefer to do things more independently your guide will be happy to leave you to your own devices.
