Great markets and fun for everyone - Went to the markets with my fiance and had a great time. there is a number of locations which have different things to the others, all within walking distance of each other.
The light and music show at Grand Place is amazing, all reasonably priced drinks and food.
You have to pay a €1 deposit for a plastic beaker/cup but you get that back easily.
Well worth a visit for all ages

Christmas in Brussels: Private Experience with a City host. - It was a great idea to book Milton as our host. He was both considered and very nice. He guided us to the Christmans market, Grand Plaz, Cathedral, Royal Palace and lots more. He is very familiar and up to date in the history of the city. We really enjoyed his company.
