Give me a break: Brussels on 250 pounds sterling
Article Abstract:
Hotels in the centre of Brussels, Belgium, can be expensive. It is worth finding a hotel a short distance away from the centre as Brussels has good public transport. Key tourist attractions include the Grand Place, especially on Sunday mornings when the bird and flower markets are operating, the Horta Museum, Waterloo and Erasmus's House. Brussels has many interesting cafes and restaurants, almost all of which serve mussels, a national food of Belgium.

Go with the floe
Article Abstract:
Greenland has settlements around most of its coastal strip, but the majority of its relatively few inhabitants live on the Arctic west coast. For visitors to western Greenland, the main point of entry is Kangerlussuaq, situated just above the Arctic Circle. From here, it is possible to take connecting flights to a range of other destinations. In Arctic Greenland, the main tourist centre is Ilulissat, where tourist accommodation is expensive.

No getting blotto in the grotto
Article Abstract:
Greenland has traditionally been identified as the home of Father Christmas, and a number of locations there have specific connections with him. Visitors can see the house claimed to be his holiday home at Sparglebugten, near the northern town of Uummannaq. They can also visit the sorting office in Nuuk, where postal workers must handle the many thousands of letter sent by children from across the world to Father Christmas.
