Beautiful Christmas Markets

Maastricht Netherlands

Located in the city central Vrijthof square, the Maastricht Christmas markets, also known as Magical Maastricht, will appeal to those who do not enjoy an overly large sprawling market experience but rather cozy, feel-like-home atmosphere and magical festive spirit. Visitors can try local home-made treats, skate on the temporary 100-meter (330 feet) squared ice-rink that is put up for the duration of the market or take a spin on the big Ferris which provides panoramic views over the lights of the city.
