About
Leiden's Christmas market fills the historic center with a winter village of wooden chalets, where local businesses sell their own products and food trucks serve winter treats and hot drinks. Kids can browse the stalls and see the lit Christmas tree. It is a browsing market more than an activity, so for restless kids, pair it with the ice rink or the nostalgic fair nearby.
Where it is
Leidse Kerstmarkt
Hooglandse Kerkplein, 2312 Leiden, Netherlands
