About
In 2026 the Mechelen Christmas market sets up in the lively area around the Vismarkt and Haverwerf by the River Dijle. About 50 stalls sell gifts, mulled wine and snacks among historic facades and lit quays. It opens mainly at weekends, then daily just before Christmas. On 31 December the Grote Markt becomes a New Year's Eve party venue. Tip: the Vismarkt is about a 15-minute walk from Mechelen station.
