Where Will Wanderlust Travel Group Take You This Month - January 2026.

Happy New Year! I hope this new year is already off to a wonderful start and filled with excitement for what’s ahead. There’s something energizing about turning the calendar to fresh possibilities, new ideas, and the chance to begin dreaming about where travel might take us next.

 

As we step into the year, I’m truly excited for the journeys we’ll start planning together. Whether you’re dreaming of one unforgettable bucket-list adventure, returning to a destination that already holds special meaning, or craving a trip focused on relaxation, culinary discoveries, or adventure, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Travel, to me, has always been about more than just getting away. It’s about creating meaningful experiences and memories that last a lifetime, the kind you find yourself talking about at next year’s holiday gathering.

 

To kick off the year, I wanted to spotlight a destination that often surprises travelers in the best way - enter Brussels, Belgium. This vibrant European capital blends historic charm with a modern, creative energy, offering layers of culture, stunning architecture, and one of Europe’s most underrated food scenes. From the breathtaking Grand Place to cozy cafés, world-famous chocolate shops, and lively neighborhoods, Brussels invites travelers to slow down and truly savor the experience.

 

Brussels is one of those destinations that surprises you, charms you, and leaves you wondering why you didn’t visit sooner.

 

So let’s officially turn the page, start dreaming a little bigger, and see how Brussels just might sneak its way onto your 2026 travel list. It’s a destination that lingers with you long after you return, and I can’t wait to see where this year’s travel dreams lead. I’m so excited to be part of the journey with you.

Adventure Awaits! Let's Start Planning!

Welcome to Brussels, Belgium

Brussels is easy to reach and a wonderful gateway to Belgium and beyond, with Brussels Airport (BRU) offering nonstop and easy connecting flights from major U.S. and European cities. Once you arrive, getting around is simple. Brussels is walkable in many areas, and its efficient train system makes exploring effortless. The city itself is home to must-see sights like the Grand Place, the historic Royal Palace, and lively neighborhoods filled with cafés, museums, and boutiques. Food lovers will appreciate that Brussels is known for much more than waffles and chocolate, with a thriving culinary scene ranging from casual bistros to refined dining.

 

One of Brussels’ greatest advantages is its location, making it an ideal base for memorable day trips. In under an hour by train, you can reach the medieval streets and canals of Bruges, the cultural charm of Ghent, or the fashion-forward energy of Antwerp. Travelers can easily experience multiple cities without changing hotels, allowing for a relaxed yet enriching itinerary. Whether you’re planning a focused city stay or a broader Belgium journey, Brussels offers flexibility, convenience, and a rich sense of place that appeals to first-time visitors and seasoned travelers alike.
