Malmedy Christmas City (Cité de Noël)
About twenty chalets, a big festive bar and a large ice rink on Place du Châtelet, Thursday to Sunday over four weekends.
In the spa town that gave its name to every 'spa', the Christmas market returns to Place Royale, near the Pouhon Pierre-le-Grand and the Galeries Léopold II. Run by the traders' association, it puts friendliness, music and local groups ahead of size. It makes a pleasant stop combined with a walk in the High Fens or a visit to the thermal baths. Going by the 2025 pattern, it opens mainly at weekends, with extra days before Christmas. Tip: check the hours before you go, as they are not yet published.
