Winterlights – Luxembourg City Christmas Markets
The Winterlights festival brings several Christmas markets to Luxembourg's Ville-Haute, from Place d'Armes to Place de la Constitution, until 3 January.
Esch-sur-Alzette, the country's second city, opens its Christmas market a week ahead of the capital, on the town-hall square. Chalets offer treats and crafts, and a stage hosts concerts and entertainment on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from late afternoon. On Sunday 29 November the traditional Kleeschen (St Nicholas) parade hands out sweets and chocolate to children. Smaller and more local than Winterlights, it is easy to visit in an evening by train from Luxembourg City.
