This year I am going to Luxembourg for the Christmas Market...

Luxembourg Christmas Markets

The city of Luxembourg invites visitors to the ‘Winter Lights’ festival which is the central theme of a series of events brightening up winter in Luxembourg’s capital from 28th November 2008 to 4th January 2009.

To highlight the festive atmosphere at the end of the year, Luxembourg’s capital has been decorated with Christmas lights: more than 1,600m of lights with thousands of light bulbs now decorate the street lights, tree-lined streets and squares in the city

Luxembourg's multicultural markets boast a relaxed and European flavour, for example Stollen from Saxony and French Christmas log are all on sale side by side! Christmas carols in the Luxembourgish language (“An der grousser Hellger Nuecht”) will mix in with “Stille Nacht” in German, “White Christmas” in English and “Noël, Noël”.

The mixture of languages and spoken highlights defines the cosmopolitan nature of Luxembourg, a haven of human peace. Old and young alike will be delighted by the range of products on sale – handcrafted candles, heart-shaped gingerbread, toys, various Christmas tree decorations, greetings cards, CDs of Luxembourg Christmas carols and many charming gift ideas. And of course you can also try the tasty dishes and mulled wine (“Glühwein”) which are on offer.
