After much going back and forth and changing calendars my husband and I have booked a last minute trip to Belgium for the week of Christmas/NYE. We’ll have 7 days on the ground 24-31. I’ve been to Brussels and Bruges before but it’s been years and I went in the summer time as a college backpacker. Otherwise location was chosen based on ease of getting there and ticket prices. So I have no idea where to begin planning! We are fine with dreary rainy weather. It’s home climate and we’ve done Amsterdam this same time two years ago. I love the dark and twinkly lights of season. We enjoy WW2 sites, museums, architecture, beer, Christmas markets (I know the don’t compare to Germany). Some other threads have recommended a home base like Ghent and day tripping into other towns. Is that the better move for shorter stays like ours?
