Writing about Brussels it stated: "Often dismissed as a bureaucratic bunker, Brussels is a city with an unappreciated buzz, especially as Christmas approaches and its sensational market takes over the Place Sainte-Catherine."
It added that the Lille market climaxes with Santa Claus "falls" from the belfry of the Place Rihour"s clock tower.
