Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early on Saturday or Sunday to explore the handmade goods and workshops before the peak crowds, especially if you're looking for specific gift items.

  • Utilize the public transport option (Line 16, Michaelshoven stop) to avoid parking hassles, as parking is available but can be limited.
  • While admission is free, consider bringing a small donation as suggested by the organizers to support their efforts and future events.
