FROM BRUNCH BITES TO CHRISTMAS MARKET LIGHTS
As we approach a new year, and officially enter the holiday season, Christmas markets become a new addition to our weekend possibilities. Whether you have gift shopping to do, or just want a warm glass of gluhwein, grab some brunch and then check out these Christmas markets in Amsterdam, and nearby, before they are gone.
For the ones into the classics:
Like every year, Museumplein becomes a charming Christmas Village. You can expect live entertainment, plenty of festive food and drink, and a wide assortment of gifts amongst all the market stalls. If this is your choice, consider getting brunch before your market stroll at LOCALS, an all-day brunch restaurant just a 10-minute walk away.
