About this trip

In Christmas Town Valkenburg (Kerststad Valkenburg) the Christmas market is underground. In the marlstone caves, such as the Gemeentegrot and the Fluweelengrot, the stalls stand between illuminated cave walls. Above ground, Valkenburg's town centre is decked out for Christmas too.

As Valkenburg lies in the far south of the Netherlands, we set off early. That gives your group a full day in Valkenburg before the coach heads back in the late afternoon.

You need an admission ticket for the cave Christmas markets. In recent years these had to be bought online in advance; we are happy to help with the planning and can book tickets for your group.
