Caves, lights, drinks and other convivialities. Christmas in the Valkenburg Caves is so much more than just another event. You are taken to another world, of enchantment and tradition. But there is a whole heap more to experience during Christmas in Valkenburg.
The cozy caves
During the holidays, Valkenburg’s marl caves transform into magical Christmas paradises. During the Christmas markets in the magnificent Velvet and Municipal Caves, you will find atmospheric stalls full of handmade gifts, snacks and unique Christmas decorations. Enjoy the scent of mulled wine and freshly baked waffles as you stroll with family and friends through the magnificent centuries-old corridors.
