    Antwerpen in Belgium there a lot of little markets and at night there comes a famous singer 🧍‍♀️ *don’t only go to the market’s because there also are 2 giant trees 🌲 Antwerp is a pretty big city but most of the times all the markets are in a sort of route 🗺️ ❤hope you will go enjoy it there ❤❤❤❤

    Just to let you know, the mug is not a souvenir ;) You are actually not allowed to take them home. I guess the deposit is to prevent people stealing to mugs as they give you an incentive to give it back. However if you do take them home, probably nothing is gonna happen to you^^

    Ahhhhh, good to know. In your experience, have all the markets treated the mugs this way? Thanks for letting me know!

    Bruges is still categorized as one of the "big town" tourist-markets instead of the small cozy markets

    I see you've been in Brussels! Actually, the deposit on the mug for the Christmas market can also be done by card, and then theu give it to you back in cash :) It happened to me last week, and it was the normal thing, apparently ☺️

    Actually taking the mugs back home is illegal. You won't get into problems, but it is not thought to be a souvenir.

    I've never heard it's "illegal". Most people, especially locals return it. (What would you do with dozens of these mugs?!) But some collect one of each year since they have changing motives. And a small portion are tourist which take a souvenir home.

    This is not true for all countries. In Luxembourg, France and Belgium you can take them home with you (some are designed for it, also).

    Always interesting seeing the differences around the world. In the US, a population of 100,000 would be considered a small town compared to our larger cities like Chicago (2.7 millions), Los Angeles (3.8 million), and New York City (8.8 million). I see your point though and appreciate you taking the time to watch 😀
