Merry Christmas! Join today's included excursion as we head into Belgium for our included excursion to Liege. Home to Belgium's oldest Christmas Markets. Set in Place St Lambert and Place du Marche, the numerous wooden chalets sell a wide variety of wares including Christmas village ornaments, gastronomic delights, local handicrafts and regional souvenirs.
At Place de la Cathedrale in the heart of Liege's huge pedestrian zone, skaters will be surrounded by even more shopping, eating and drinking outlets. Proclaimed the Latin capital of Christmas festivities, the Liege Christmas Village has a subtle difference in atmosphere to its Germanic and Alsatian neighbours.
Afterwards, continue to Monschau, a photographer’s paradise! Half-timbered façades overlook twisting streets, cobbled walkways and quaint market squares. The city originated around 1195 and takes its names from the castle situated on a mountain spur above the Rur River.
