Benelux on Christmass

First day of journey. Awesome sunny weather for this time of year. Bremen is preparing for Christmas, whole city center is one big fair. Probably best party of whole journey. You can literally feel Christmas in the air.

After Bremen we headed to Cologne. Streets after Christmas are empty, almost all shops are closed, but city itself gives a lot of food for eyes.

View on one of Cologne train stations from skyscraper top. Gorgeous view on whole city right before night. You can see how city changes from dark and misty to bright and colorful.

Brugges is heavy overcrowded, but if you step out from beaten path you can catch this "good old town" feeling. Awesome pancake and cider from Normandy made this day even more warm.

Evening in Brugges was cold, but all this channels and lights were still very attractive. Most people were heading one way - to the train station.

Brusseles after New Year was a bit to dirty with all garbage left by parties, but good city view from this basilica and awesome dinner can change everything
