Spa Christmas Market
A friendly, community-run Christmas market on Place Royale in Spa, organised by local traders with the town and tourist office.
In central Malmedy, the Cité de Noël gathers about twenty craft and food chalets around a large ice rink and a festive bar. Daytime feels family-friendly, evenings livelier, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. The first chalet is the welcome point, where children can decorate a bauble and send a postcard. The rink stays open until early January, after the market closes. Tip: central car parks may charge, but free parking is easy to find a little further out.
Market open Thursday to Sunday only (26–29 Nov, 3–6, 10–13, 17–20 Dec). Ice rink until early January, hours on the website.
