7 Day Select Holiday

Enjoy an atmosphere of Christmases past with this magical medley of nostalgic markets. Our holiday is based in Valkenburg, a Dutch riverside town with 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 art. We venture out to Liege, where the city’s yuletide fayre has an endearing Latin vibe and is known as the oldest and largest Christmas market in Belgium. Liege’s market transforms Place Saint Lambert and Place du Marche into a festive village with its own  elected ‘mayor’ and dedicated ‘Village Council’ adding a fun feel to the carnival. Maastricht’s romantic market exudes a warm, fuzzy festive feel with its storybook setting. The yuletide extravaganza continues in Germany’s Aachen which oozes a unique blend of medieval charm with live music.
