Hamont-Achel Christmas market
Christmas market in Hamont-Achel — from 12 December to 13 December 2026. In the courtyard of the Achelse Kluis abbey: crafts, live music, children's activities, Santa and Achel beer.
Online day ticket, adult (13+): from €16 on weekdays outside the holidays, from €17 at weekends, €18 over the Christmas holidays; evening ticket from €10. Children (3–12) from €12, under 3 free. Prices vary by date and entry time; checked on 12 November 2026.
More compact than its neighbour Het Meerdal, the Limburgse Peel Aqua Mundo is perfect for young families: wave pool, slides, three little 'frog' pools for toddlers, a bubble bath and an outdoor pool with a lawn. Day tickets are booked online with entry between 10.30 am and noon, and an evening ticket from 4 pm is even cheaper. The car-free park also has a petting farm and playgrounds along the Leisure Boulevard. Watch the hours: during term time the pool closes at 6 pm Tuesday to Thursday. Children under 13 must be with an adult; tip: come on a Monday or Friday, when it is open until 8 pm.
