The magic of Christmas has returned to the heart of the Burning City, faithful to the Germanic tradition of the markets.
Visitors will discover more than 150 craft chalets, enough to find their ideal gift, but also the toboggan run, the ice rink and they will be able to attend numerous concerts.
And after a year of absence, the Village Ferris Wheel is making a comeback. A new entrance will also be established on Place de l’Opéra, where a few chalets will be placed.
The Liège Christmas Village begins on November 24 and ends on December 31, with the exception of the ice rink, which will remain open until January 7.
The program is available ici.
Here is the best time to get your Christmas tree
The Durbuy Christmas market
The smallest city in the world, Durbuy, is home to a Christmas market that is worth the detour. In the alleys of the historic center, visitors can admire the magical illuminations, and above all, taste the traditional potatoes with foie gras.
Apart from the numerous chalets installed throughout the city, the indoor ice rink will take place, like every year, at the end of King Baudouin Park.
The Durbuy Christmas market can be discovered from November 24 to January 7, 2024.
The complete program is accessible ici.

What’s new this year? The 11 indigenous nations of Quebec are the guests of honor of this edition and will be the subject of a sound and light show on the historic facades of the Grand-Place.
Winter Fun will begin on November 24 and end on December 31, with an extension until January 7, 2024 for certain activities such as the ice rink.

Two of the most beautiful European Christmas markets are Belgian
The Maredsous Christmas market
At the foot of Maredsous Abbey, the Christmas market lights up the entire hamlet. 60 small authentic chalets welcome visitors looking for a gift or artisanal treats.
The Maredsous Christmas market is one of the most popular Christmas markets in Wallonia.
In addition, this year, the real ice skating rink will once again be installed on the site.

The two Christmas markets in the city center are worth a stop. On the Markt you will find a traditional Christmas market and on Simon Stevinplein the emphasis is on artisanal and locally sourced products.
And for a refreshing break, there is a winter bar on Minnewater (Lake of Love).
