Christmas Market in Berlin is a concept that might surprise some of you: the city of night life, of history and rebellions and so many culture does have a traditional and conventional side too! So if you feel like trying something new, well these markets will have a unique vibe. Otherwise, you can stick to the classics (Berlin by night, Berlin by day).

Brussels in winter is magical.... and even the rain won't ruin the atmosphere as the Christmas lights will make you forget about it!
