We spend the day exploring Liege and later, browse the charming Christmas Markets. Belgium’s largest Christmas Market, the Liège Christmas Village, displays the influences of its neighbours, with traditional Germanic goods and fayre, in the very heart of the city. Immerse yourself in the magical and fairy-tale atmosphere of this special time of year. Located around Place Saint-Lambert, the streets of Liège are lined with markets stalls and Walloon and French artisans are ready to show you their delightful products.
*Please note on the 25th November 2024 departure Liege Christmas Market will not be open so we will visit Hasselt Winter Wonderland instead.
We head into the Netherlands today, to the charming town of Valkenburg. Experience the festive excitement of the Christmas market in the Town Cave (Gemeentegrot) - the oldest underground Christmas market in Europe. The ancient galleries are filled with Christmas music and decorated with lights and traditional stalls selling all kinds of festive gifts, creating a truly magical atmosphere. You may also wish to visit the Christmas market in the Velvet Cave (Fluweelengrot - entrance extra approximately €10 per person). This Christmas market leads you on a circular route through an underground pathway lined with stalls, all tucked into niches in the rock
After a leisurely morning in Liege and time for a spot of lunch, join our included excursion into Germany and to Aachen. Aachen’s historic Old Town is perfect for visitors to stroll around. Here you can discover the charm of the narrow lanes and historic squares and be inspired by almost 2000 years of history. Every year in the weeks prior to Christmas the squares and alleys around Aachen’s town hall are transformed into a festive paradise of brilliant illumination and colourful splendour. The range of goods offered is overwhelming: from grand precious objects down to the modest trinket; from the most impressive gifts down to everyday utensils…it is no wonder that the Aachen Christmas Market has long since become a must for all the town's inhabitants and visitors alike!
