Kerststad Valkenburg
13 November 2026 to 3 January 2027
Centrum Valkenburg en de grotten, Valkenburg aan de Geul
you step into the atmosphere of Kerststad Valkenburg, where the sound of footsteps on the cobblestones and the cold on your cheeks are instantly noticeable. In the centre of Valkenburg aan de Geul and the caves, warm light hangs between the old stone walls. At specialstays, you will find a quiet place in the region to settle onto the sofa after a day in the open air with a warm drink from your own glassware.
Why here
The period around this event runs from 13/11/2026 to 03/01/2027. After a walk along the water at Smeermaas, Maasdijk, or through the Rivierpark Meuse Valley nature reserve, peace quickly returns. The fresh air of Limburg and Belgian Limburg blows through the trees. In the evening, you warm up inside the walls of one of the 29 holiday homes.
The rhythm slows down as soon as you close the door behind you. The accommodations range in size from 20 to 185 m² of living space, with 1 to 4 bedrooms. Each stay has its own terrace where you can sit outside, and features wifi, a shower, toilet, and washbasin. In the kitchen, you can easily grab plates, cutlery, and glasses for a meal after a visit to the centre of Valkenburg aan de Geul.
In places such as Lanaken, Spaubeek, and Epen, you will find various addresses to enrich your day. There are shops like Amerikaanse Stock and Studio Viertien. For food and drinks, you can head to The Filling Station, Mario's Ice Rekem, or EETHUIS ZEMZEM. A relaxing moment can be found at Phuthai Massage for wellness.
Whether you choose a stay in Forest Cabin Rekem - Luka for 4 people or Maas Suites - The French House for 7 people with 4 bedrooms, stillness reigns in every location. Through specialstays, you consciously choose a stay where the space matches the season.
