Clear comparison

Brussels

Brussels-Capital · Belgium

Admission and costs
The squares and market are free to enter. Attractions, rides, food and purchases cost extra. Closing is at 6 pm on 24 and 31 December and 3 January; Grand-Place has no sound-and-light show on these three dates.
Getting there
From Bruxelles-Central station, walk to Grand-Place. Continue towards the Bourse and Place Sainte-Catherine: this linear route links the main Winter Wonders areas and helps avoid repeatedly retracing the same stalls.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Royal Galleries of Saint-Hubert provide a covered passage near the historic centre, with shop windows and architecture. Walking through does not require a museum ticket; shops, cafés and performances are paid separately.

Vetralla, Tuscia, Lazio

Province of Viterbo · Lazio · Italy

Admission and costs
The classic route is free; shopping and refreshments are optional. Incantesimo di Mezzanotte is a separate paid experience, with its own ticket available on the official website: add it only if you want the immersive eleven-room route.
Getting there
Set navigation to Via Cassia Botte 171, on the Cassia at kilometre 62.200. Your destination is the Regno rather than Vetralla’s historic centre: go directly to this entrance to keep the entire visit within the same complex.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Incantesimo di Mezzanotte offers eleven indoor immersive rooms. This alternative requires a separate ticket from the classic route; online purchase through the venue takes priority over on-site sales, which depend on availability.

Christmas in everyday life

The Singing Christmas Tree in Werdmühleplatz, Zurich, in an archive press photograph. This is not a performance from the 2026 edition.
TO DISCOVER

In Zurich the Christmas tree really sings. And you want to leave!

Red capes, green branches and dozens of voices: the Singing Christmas Tree is also a tree made of people. From 19 November to 23 December 2026 a square in the heart of Zurich is once again filled with music. And the concerts are free.

CHRISTMAS: THERE IS MORE THAN ONE STORY IN THE NATIVITY SCENE!

Shepherds and Magi meet in our cribs. In the Gospels, they come from two different stories waiting to be discovered.
