The Top 24 Best Holiday Destinations in December
GHENT, BELGIUM
Another one of the best winter city breaks in Europe if you want to get in the mood for Christmas, Ghent is certainly somewhere to consider. Wrap up warmly to amble through its charming Christmas markets, drinking in the scent of pine resin, mulled wine and mouthwatering street food while picking up trinkets to fill your Christmas stockings with.
But there’s plenty of reason to pay Ghent a visit after Christmas too. For example, the Light Festival will be illuminating the city in February, highlighting Ghent’s stunning historic sites and monuments in a way that’s more spectacular and memorable than you could imagine.
