The smell of hot chestnuts, chalets lit up at nightfall, a warm glühwein to warm your cold hands... Christmas market season is here. Here's a roundup of must-see (re)markets in the Greater Region. 🛖
___SAINT-NICHOLAS MARKET📍Yutz📆 From 02/12 to 17/12
The only market that celebrates the traditional Saint! A true tradition, in addition to its many designer and artisan chalets, this market is also filled with festivities of all kinds: film screenings, parades, floats, story readings, strolling shows and even a little train for little elves. 🎄
___WINTERLIGHTS📍Luxembourg City
📆 24/11 to 07/01
How can we talk about must-see Christmas markets without mentioning Luxembourg City's famous markets, aka the Winterlights. We're not talking about just one market here, but 5 squares scattered all over the center of the capital.
Ferris wheels, Christmas decorations, Kurtos and churro stands, not to mention the famous smoked salmon, are spread across Luxembourg. Can't make up your mind? Drop by one of the 5 markets! ✨
___CHRISTMAS IN METZ📍Metz
📆 24/11 to 30/12
The city of Metz is also decked out in lights, welcoming a multitude of chalets scattered throughout the metropolis. Over 125 chalets offering food, crafts, gift ideas and mulled wine are on hand to immerse young and old in the magic of Christmas.
This year don't miss the market's star attraction: the panoramic tower that will let you see the lights from above, a little as if you were the star above the tree, 72 meters high on Place de la République. 🎡
Pssst, during your visit, take the opportunity to take a tour at the Sentier des Lanternes.
___TRIERER WHEIHNACHTS MARKT📍Trier
📆 24/11 to 22/12
Antique carousel, stalls selling handmade Christmas decorations, German specialties like gingerbread and pretzels... Just 40 minutes from Luxembourg-City, the Trier Christmas Market is well worth a visit!
To make sure you don't miss out on any of the nuggets on offer at this renowned market, a visit to the "Hauptmarkt" market square and the forecourt of the "Trierer Dom" cathedral are a must-see. 🥨
