45. Brussels, Belgium
Why you should go: Brussels looks like a frozen fairytale in the winter, and it’s worth braving the cold to wander the world’s most beautiful square (the Unesco-protected Grand Place). The Belgian capital is also a major food city. Indulge in freshly cooked waffles with melted chocolate, mussels, frites (fries), and local beer.
Why it’s a steal: The median airfare to Brussels is $622 from December through March; hotel rooms have an average rate of $142 per night.
Where to stay: Jardin Secret Hotel is actually a secret—you’ll only be told the location once you book (it’s in the Saint-Boniface district, which is full of trendy restaurants). You enter through a plant shop, and the rest of the property has the same natural feel to it, complete with big, airy windows.
