Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive earlier on weekdays or during off-peak hours to avoid the largest crowds, especially if you plan to visit the ice rink or toboggan run.
- Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking between the two main squares (Place St Lambert and Place du Marché).
- Bring cash for smaller purchases at the chalets, as not all vendors may accept cards.
- Check the specific opening hours for December 24th and 25th, as they differ from the regular schedule.
- Take advantage of the public transport options to reach the city center, as parking can be challenging during the busy market period.
