Take the best photos - in the photobooth
Capture your memories at one of Vrijthof's photo spots. Highly recommended is the classic photobooth at Place de l'Amour, near the entrance with the Christmas Ball. There, there is also a striking, bright red heart-shaped chair; ideal for a romantic snapshot or a cosy photo with friends. Moreover, there are plenty of other photo spots on the spacious square. Walking around the Christmas market, you will come across them automatically.
Immortalise your love - padlocked
Having a date night at Magical Maastricht Vrijthof? Then buy a padlock, write your names or a personal message on it and hang it on the bridge at Vrijthof. Not only is it a romantic gesture, but it also supports a good cause. In fact, the proceeds from the padlocks will go to Stichting de Knoevel. This organisation is dedicated to long-term sick children from South Limburg, so your loving moment also contributes to a beautiful and important initiative.
Meet Father Christmas
No Christmas without Father Christmas. Throughout the month of December, Father Christmas will make several visits to Magical Maastricht on the Vrijthof Square. Want to meet Santa? When exactly he will drop by will be announced via the social media channels of Magical Maastricht Vrijthof. Keep an eye on them and be on time for this magical encounter!

Partying in the Austrian almhütte
Fancy fun, music and celebration? Visit the Austrian almhütte on the Vrijthof square. In this winter après-ski paradise, you can enjoy live music every weekend. Big and small bands set the mood with German schlagers and, yes, après-ski music. Put on your favourite ski outfit and have an unforgettable evening!
