Christmas Market Kick Off

Velvet Cave Christmas Market & Christmas Town of Valkenburg

Travel with us into the neighboring country of Holland and immerse yourself in the underground fabulous Christmas Caves of Valkenburg. This trip is an absolute must for Christmas Market connoisseurs! Valkenburg offers the most incredibly unique Christmas Market experience by hosting the entire market in the naturally formed caves that run underneath the town. Making use of the extensive cave system that underlies the area, the “Valkenburg Caves” provides a one-of-a-kind experience not found at any other Christmas Market. Traditional Dutch Christmas treats, artisan wares, holiday crafts, and Christmas exhibits line the decorated caves to create an underground Christmas village that glows with holiday spirit.

Our next stop is downtown Valkenburg where the fairytale Christmas Town and Market shines brightly, beckoning to shoppers with the sweet scent of gingerbread and Glühwein (mulled wine).  Walk endlessly through the thoughtfully crafted, unique and beautiful winter landscapes, through the decorated stalls, showcasing a wide variety of Dutch Christmas treasures and crafts.  Sweet and savory seasonal snacks and tasty treats will be on offer in abundance, be sure to try the Reibekuchen, a delicious fried potato pancake made even better with some mouth-watering apple sauce.  The bite-sized, fluffy Pannenkoeken or Stroopwafels make the perfect hand-held dessert while you stroll and take in the sites.  Valkenburg, either above or below ground, offers an amazing Christmas atmosphere that is certain to stimulate and saturate all your senses and fill your soul with holiday spirit!
