One of the surprises when traveling around Luxembourg, Germany, and Belgium visiting various Christmas markets was how underrated the Luxembourg Christmas markets were. A very welcoming surprise when most of the conversations about the best Christmas markets were usually referred to those in neighboring Germany.

The Luxembourg Christmas markets were truly delightful, as was my visit to this tiny country. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting a whole lot, but it really wowed me. The Winterlights Festival in Luxembourg is held in several locations throughout the city and is incredibly family-friendly.

The small nature of Luxembourg means that everything is a short walk from each Winterlight Christmas Market, and this being Luxembourg you can also hop on any public transportation for free! Stroll around the city of Luxembourg and you are bound to stumble upon a Christmas Market.

You’ll find stalls selling Gluhwein, grilled sausages, and a small stage for nightly concerts at the weekends. Directly across the road, there is a small Christmas Market with rides and there is even an opportunity to meet St. Nikolas!

Place d’Armes Christmas Market

The Christmas Market at Place d’Armes is one of the most popular, with its range of traditional Christmas stalls and carousels. With restaurants around the perimeter of the square, this was one of the busiest sections of the Christmas Markets in Luxembourg.

The Christmas Markets in Luxembourg originated in Place d’Armes and remains the center of the markets with a nativity scene and an enormous Christmas Tree. This part of the market was made up mostly of food stalls and is a perfect place to grab some traditional food as you wander around the city.

Place de la Constitution Christmas Market

The largest of the Luxembourg Christmas Markets takes place in Place de la Constitution. You’ll find a huge number of stalls, at Wantermaart, selling all the favorite Christmas market staples such as Gluhwein, Smoked Salmon, and of course Wurst. A must-try is a Kurtos, also known as Baumstriezel in German – a round cake that is baked on a roller and a Christmas market staple.

This is also a perfect day or evening out for the entire family as there is a giant Ferris Wheel and a fun bungee jump for small kids.

Wanterpark Christmas Market

One of my favorite parts of the Luxembourg Christmas Markets was the Wanterpark where they have set up a small ice rink located in Parc Kinnekswiss. The best part is right next door and offers visitors a large open-air space to eat and drink from a wide variety of food and drink stalls.

Of all the Christmas Markets I’ve visited, the Luxembourg Christmas Markets are some of the most family-friendly and welcoming.
