    Brilliant Christmas Market. Everything you imagine a German Christmas Market should be. Vibrant, lively, colourful. The whole city is alight & exciting. The market is held around the town hall, near the Cathedral, (both of which are lit up) with colourful stalls, music and deliciously, appetising smells. The merchandise here seems different, more Christmassy, with unusual stocking filler toys, wooden toys, crystals, Christmas decorations, stained glass etc Stalls of wonderful foods - Gingerbread men of all sizes, Enormous wursts overhanging the tiny rolls and the inevitable, warming Glühwein. The atmosphere is happy, relaxed & cosmopolitan, if some times noisy with the Ooompah bands !! Plenty of multi story car parks around. Lovely restaurants. Do visit the Cathedral & surrounding, tiny shops.

    The Christmas Market is located in a square surrounded by medieval buildings, the town hall and the cathedral. It's beautiful. There is gluhwein everywhere along with food, candy and christmas stuffs abound. There's also a stage where Christmas oriented music is played. It's a huge market with lots to offer. It's open from 11:00 to 21:00 everyday.

    I went to the velvet cave Christmas Market for a USO trip some time back. It was one of my first…read moreUSO trips and one of my only times in the Netherlands. The town was adorable. Small and quaint with cobble stone streets. But what towns aren't in Europe? The caves were decorated both inside and out. I think that was the coolest part. The market was small, so really the main attraction is the cave.

    The Valkenburg Christmas market is held in a labyrinth of caves under the town which sounds unusual…read more& picturesque but it is not that exciting and a little disappointing. There are rather amateurish Christmas scenes of Christmas trees, Santas, elves,etc. with no flair. The theme changes every year. The stalls are unimaginative & some poorly lit. There are some Christmassy bits & pieces and traditional toys but strangely also some household goods. There is no thrill, no magic & little atmosphere. The Gemeentegrot (Municiple cave) was the original market but because of the success has now been extended to the Fluweelengrot (velvet cave) across the road. The caves were made when quarrying for the soft stone over hundreds of years. They also carve the stone into candle holders etc for souvenirs. There is an entrance fee of around £3 for these markets and the queues can be long & disorganised. The caves can get uncomfortably busy, when it isn't a case of stopping to look but to go with the flow. If you really want to shop try to visit when it is a little quieter or at least when all the coaches have gone. Tourist Board is in main square & helpful about parking. Now the town itself is sheer delight. There are masses of wonderful, picturesque restaurants, coffee shops & bars all twinkling with lights & candles. Many have tables & chairs outside, with some kind of heating, and it is lovely to sit people watching, snuggled up with hats & scarves, drinking Glühwein or hot chocolate topped with whipped cream. The food is good and the welcome warm & friendly. There are normally some animated Christmas decorations around the town.
