Maastricht Christmas Winterland

The Dutch city of Maastricht sets up a Christmas Winterland wonderland each year, complete with a Ferris Wheel, a small petting zoo, a Christmas train for young children, a skating rink, and many other traditional activities, Winterland certainly caters to the youthful sprit of the holidays. Part of Winterland’s charming setup, the Christmas Market itself covers Vrijthof Square and spills out onto the edges of the square with its 80 partially covered stalls. A number of musical performances are held throughout Winterland, celebrating the history of Christmas in the ancient town. Late November until early January.
