Welcome to the complete guide for winter festivities in Arnhem. This practical collection guides you through all festive activities and events our city has to offer during the month of December.
In the historic city center around the Eusebius Church, you'll find the traditional Christmas market with illuminated stalls and winter delicacies. From there, you can walk to the Musis Park, where a cozy winter terrace has been set up, and via the decorated Rijnstraat to the Gele Rijders Square, which transforms into a festive winter square with an ice skating rink. The nearby municipalities such as Oosterbeek and Velp also contribute to the festive atmosphere with their own winter events.
