Mechelen Christmas Market
About 50 stalls on the Korenmarkt, Haverwerf, Van Beethovenstraat and Vismarkt along the River Dijle, on December weekends.
Leuven's Christmas market sets up at the foot of the University Library tower, on Ladeuzeplein and Herbert Hooverplein. More than 120 stalls sell gifts, decorations, mulled wine and snacks, with the lively feel of a student city. At night the lit library tower makes a fine backdrop. Unusually, it is one of the few big Flemish markets that ends before Christmas, on 20 December. Tip: the square is about 800 m from the station, a pleasant walk through the centre.
