Magical Maastricht 2013

30 November - 30 December 2013

Winter in Maastricht means endless fun. From 30 November 2012 to 30 December 2013 (incl.), the historical city centre will be enjoying the holiday season. Breathtaking lit streets connect the squares within the historical downtown of Maastricht. Feel the Christmas spirit and enjoy the winter fun on the Vrijthof square: among other things the large ice skating ring, the Christmas market and the Ferris wheel together form the warm beating heart of Magical Maastricht.

Discover the magical atmosphere throughout the city centre: the squares, little streets and courtyards are filled with winter activities. The Magical Culture Festival will bring you many special moments at various beautiful locations in the city centre. The festive shopping Sundays and beautifully decorated shop-windows form the perfect background for endless shopping fun, and the many restaurants and cafés spread around Maastricht will be ready and waiting to give you a taste of the culinary magic of Maastricht.

Maastricht: Best Christmas Shopping City!

Last year Maastricht was named 'Best Christmas Shopping city' of the Netherlands. Research by Q & A Research & Consultancy commissioned by Wugly.nl shows Maastricht primarily stands out in the field of shopping, Christmas atmosphere and lighting.
Wide range of activities
Magical Maastricht has so much to offer! Christmas spirit and winterfun, winterfestival of lights, Magical Culture Festival and of course shop till you drop. At this moment we are still working on the overall programme. As soon as possible you will find an overview of activities here.
