Belgium: Cosy up and enjoy festive traditions

The city of Eindhoven shines during the Glow Festival, a spectacular light art event. Travelers looking for a cultural exploration can dive into contemporary art and history at the Van Abbe museum, the perfect activity for a winter’s day.

If a festive trip to Rotterdam is on your bucket list, check out the ice skating rink, then warm up with a visit to the Maritime Museum. End your day with panoramic views of the city’s winter skyline from the Euromast Tower –it’s truly unforgettable.
