Hundreds of Santas on motorbikes invaded Brussels!

Hundreds of Santas on motorbikes, many surprised locals and tourists, crowded streets in many parts of the city… that is how Brussels looked like on Sunday! Our Brussels photographer Eric Ostermann made some great shots to capture the spirit and the mood of this cold December weekend.

City’s streets offered impressive sights for both older and younger visitors, so children were not the only one who were amused and surprised with the Santas parade.

We must admit, even without the reindeer, Santas looked amazing on their motorbikes of all shapes and sizes.

WeLoveBrussels team also made a short video of Santas arriving at the Christmas Market near Place St Catherine.
