About
Wintertijd is not a big Christmas market but a friendly winter festival on the Pancratiusplein and the Bongerd. You can skate, zoom down an ice slide over 30 metres long, try curling or winter mini-golf, then warm up in the Wintercafé or the spiegeltent. On Sundays 13 and 20 December a winter market fills the shopping streets. Heerlen station is a short walk away. Great for families, less so if you are after rows of chalets.
