Hotels near Place de Brouckère

The Place de Brouckère is the main place to skate during Winter Wonders, with an ice rink set up beneath the grand 19th-century buildings that line the square. It is one of the most popular attractions with families and groups.

The square is surrounded by Christmas chalets, and curling lanes have also been set up nearby in recent seasons, offering a fun activity for friends. In 2025, some activities on the Place de Brouckère continued for a day after the main market closed.

Skating is ticketed, with skate rental available on site, while entry to the square and the chalets is free.

Pro Tip: Skate in the early afternoon on a weekday for the emptiest ice. Check the official Winter Wonders map for 2026 opening times and curling bookings.
