9. Christmas Market Velvet Cave – Valkenburg, Netherlands
A visit to the Christmas Market Velvet Cave in Valkenburg is an experience unlike any other. The Velvet Cave is believed to have been originated in the 11th or 12th century as an underground network for knights. The combination of 18th-century chapel styling and gorgeous Christmas decorations makes wandering through the more than 50 stalls feel like a step back in time.
Visit the Christmas Market Velvet Cave on a Saturday for the chance to see the Christmas Parade through the streets of Valkenburg, which truly does capture the magic of this special time of year.
