Explore the square
- Christmas tree
- Light and sound show
The giant Christmas tree in front of City Hall makes a good starting point. After dusk, a light and sound show turns the square’s façades into a screen. For the 25th edition, the map lists a new projection show called “Inspired by Brussels”, which explores the city’s history and heritage. There is no show on 24 or 31 December or on 3 January. This is a useful first stop if you arrive by train at Brussels-Central.
