Every December, the capital city of Belgium transforms into a festive wonderland known as Winter Wonders. With over 200 stalls stretching from the Grand Place to Sainte Catherine and the Bourse, visiting Brussels during the Christmas period is the perfect opportunity to explore the city while soaking up the festive atmosphere.

Greek history and mythology has had me in a chokehold ever since I watched Horrible Histories after school as a ten-year-old. So Athens has always sat high on my bucket list, and recently I finally had the chance to visit the Greek capital I've dreamed about for years.
