After three days in Amsterdam, we took a high-speed train to Brussels, where we stayed downtown near a huge Christmas market (the first of several on our trip). Brussels is not quite as charming as Amsterdam, but there are a lot of beautiful buildings and the market was fantastic. There were also two different light shows that totally made the trip worth it (we’ll post some videos of those later). We also took a day trip to Bruges, a smaller city about an hour away from Brussels. Bruges has a well-preserved town center that was really fun to explore, and we bought some of the best chocolate we’ve ever had.
