Valkenburg, Aachen and Maastricht Christmas Markets

Valkenburg (or, more correctly Valkenburg aan de Geul) is a popular and pretty town located in the Dutch province of Limburg, in the south of Holland. Valkenburg’s unique Christmas market takes place in beautifully lit caves that run underneath this town at the ‘Crossroads of Europe’. There's no other Christmas market quite like it and for any fan of Christmas Markets is a must-see and must-do!

Just across the border into Germany sits Aachen. It has one of the most impressive Cathedrals you'll come across. Aachen hosts the popular markets of the ‘Christmas City’ around the impressive Cathedral and Town Hall.

Maastricht is a wonderful city, but at Christmas it really excels and the name Magical Maastricht is easily understood! Visit the Christmas market, go skating on the ice rink on Vrijthof square and see the sea of lights from the top of the Ferris wheel. Follow the ‘light route’ and discover Maastricht’s many little alleys and characteristic squares. During Magical Maastricht, the historic inner city is lit up in spectacular fashion and don’t miss the the light animation of the 200 mistletoes in the trees on Onze Lieve Vrouweplein square.

Finally, as we journey home, there is a short visit to the popular seaside town of Ostend where you can wander along the seafront and visit the multitude of cafes and restaurants on offer.
