About
Christmas Village fills Museumplein, the big lawn in front of the Rijksmuseum, with wooden stalls selling winter food, hot drinks, art and Christmas gifts. Now in its tenth year, it is a stroll-and-snack outing more than a full day out. It suits families who like to browse and graze, and pairs well with a museum morning. The lights look best once it gets dark, which in December is late afternoon.
