The days are getting shorter and colder, and the stores are filling up with Christmas decorations. It's almost winter in the Netherlands!<\/p>\n

Het kan verleidelijk zijn om in de warmte van je huis te blijven, maar deze magische winteractiviteiten kunnen het gewoon waard zijn om voor naar buiten te gaan! Als je geen auto hebt, onze blog over\u00a0openbaar vervoer in Nederland<\/a>\u00a0kan je helpen bij het plannen van je reis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

1. Kerststad Valkenburg<\/h3>\n

Elk jaar rond Kerstmis verandert de stad Valkenburg in Limburg in een waar winterwonderland. Het hoogtepunt is een kerstmarkt in een oude grot.<\/p>\n

Valkenburg is dit jaar (2022) zelfs uitgeroepen tot “Beste Kerstbestemming van Nederland”. Deze unieke activiteit wil je niet missen! Je kunt genieten van de\u00a0Kerststad Valkenburg<\/a>\u00a0van 18 november tot 8 januari van dit jaar. Heb je het een beetje koud terwijl je de stad verkent? Waarom breng je geen bezoek aan de\u00a0Thermae 2000 spa<\/a>\u00a0ook? Als je in een mooi hotel verblijft – het Spa hotel heeft een aantal prachtige\u00a0arrangementen<\/a>\u00a0– je kunt er gemakkelijk een weekendje weg van maken!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

2. Kerstmarkt in Maastricht<\/h3>\n

Maastricht is op elk moment van het jaar een leuke stad om te bezoeken, maar vooral rond Kerstmis. De\u00a0Vrijthof<\/a>zal vol staan met houten kraampjes die winterse lekkernijen, kerstversieringen en cadeaus verkopen. Er is ook een enorme schaatsbaan (1000m2!), een groot reuzenrad (45m hoog!) en een draaimolen met twee verdiepingen. Behalve op het Vrijthof vind je ook op andere plekken in de stad kerstactiviteiten. Neem bijvoorbeeld een kijkje in de straatjes rond de Onze Lieve Vrouwe Basiliek. Maastricht zelf is ook een geweldige plek om te winkelen! Kijk voor meer informatie op de\u00a0Maastricht Kerstmarkt website<\/a>\u00a0– het is alleen beschikbaar in het Nederlands, dus het kan zijn dat je Google Translate moet gebruiken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n

3. Winter Efteling<\/h3>\n

De Efteling is een themapark dat vooral populair is bij gezinnen met kinderen, maar ook volwassenen kunnen genieten van de sprookjesachtige omgeving van het\u00a0Winter Efteling<\/a>. De meeste attracties zullen open zijn (de attracties zonder water) en je vindt allerlei kerstversieringen en vreugdevuren door het hele themapark. Kom alvast in de kerststemming en geniet van het sprookjesbos met magische decoraties!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n
\n

4. Fantasieland Wintertraum<\/h3>\n

Als je de rit niet erg vindt,\u00a0Fantasieland Wintertraum<\/a>\u00a0in Duitsland is een heerlijke winteractiviteit! Net als de Efteling heeft dit themapark allerlei winterdecoraties, activiteiten en shows. De attracties in Phantasialand zijn wat spannender en kunnen leuker zijn voor volwassenen die op zoek zijn naar spanning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
