Enjoy an atmosphere of Christmases past with this magical medley of nostalgic markets. Our holiday is based in Valkenburg, a Dutch riverside town with the ruins of an eleventh century castle. Beneath this fortress, you’ll find a network of centuries-old caves that are transformed into a winter wonderland with enchanting Christmas stalls alongside ancient cave art. We venture out to Cologne, where the cathedral and atmospheric alleys make a glorious backdrop for the city’s yuletide fayre. Maastricht’s romantic market exudes a warm, fuzzy festive feel with its storybook setting. The festive extravaganza continues in Aachen which oozes a unique blend of medieval charm and has live music.
