Luxembourg City Christmas markets

During Winterlights, Luxembourg City spreads its Christmas markets over six spots in the old town and the station district. The Lëtzebuerger Chrëschtmoart fills the Place d'Armes, the Wantermaart the Place de la Constitution above the Pétrusse valley, the Wanterpark the Kinnekswiss in the municipal park, and the Niklosmaart the Place de Paris near the station. The Sapin Royal stands on the Place Émile Hamilius, and Winterkids, with a giant Advent calendar, takes over the Place Guillaume II, known locally as the Knuedler.

The chalets sell decorations, crafts, toys, jewellery, sweets and plenty of food. Try the Luxembourgish mulled wine, made with wines from the country's own Moselle producers. There is also a Ferris wheel, an ice rink, children's rides, concerts, workshops and shows for children.

The markets are open every day from 11:00 to 21:00, and until 22:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Public transport in Luxembourg is free, so the bus and tram are the easiest way to hop between the sites.
