Grab and go at Magical Maastricht Vrijthof
Besides ice skating, meeting Father Christmas and a ride on the Ferris wheel, Magical Maastricht Vrijthof is also the place to go for winter snacks and steps. Enjoy delicious snacks and drinks at various locations while strolling around the atmospheric Christmas market. Think of it as a pub crawl, but in enchanted Christmas atmospheres. From a hot chocolate or spicy mulled wine to a special beer with a delicious treat. This is how you experience the atmosphere of Magical Maastricht Vrijthof at its best.
Après-ski - in the Almhütte
As soon as you step into the Austrian Almhütte, you immediately feel like you are on winter sports. This cosy wooden hut exudes the typical après-ski atmosphere: German schlagers, beer mugs and plenty of fun. While you rock out to après-ski hits, enjoy a delicious schnapps or other tasty drink. Don't forget to try the classic winter sports snacks. Imagine yourself in the Alps - but right in the middle of Maastricht.
Drinks in the Grand Café
Need to refuel after a stroll around the Christmas market? Or just fancy a hot drink? The Grand Café is the perfect place to relax. The best thing is: from here you have a view of the ice rink. While you enjoy a hot cappuccino or chocolate with whipped cream and a piece of flan, the skaters glide by. The Grand Café is the place to warm up and enjoy the winter cosiness around you.
Snug in the Winter Café
During your bite and step across Magical Maastricht Vrijthof, a stop at the Winter Café should not be missed. It is the winter living room of the Christmas market, where the atmosphere, the extensive drinks menu and the Christmassy decor immediately put you in the right mood. Here you warm up with a chocolate milk with whipped cream, a creamy liqueur or a good glass of wine. Settle down, order some tasty snacks and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. It will be really cosy!
Christmas Pyramid Bar
A bite and step means passing by all the bars and cafes, and so also at the Christmas Pyramid Bar. This bar, inspired by the traditional Christmas pyramids from Germany, is always a treat. Enjoy a hot mulled wine, a tasty schnapps or a special beer. Get carried away by the music and taste the Christmas atmosphere. A visit to the Christmas Pyramid Bar is a must for a real Christmas market experience as far as we are concerned. Who are you going with?
Drinks during Street Curling
Who says sport and conviviality don't go together? Precisely at the Street Curling Bar, everything is about this combination. As the name suggests, you can play a game of curling here. The game requires teamwork and communication, so challenge your family and slide the bricks across the ice. Don't forget to enjoy a snack and drink in between - after all, you are on a bite and step route. The Street Curling Bar is a must-visit for those who want to try something new and bar hop with a sporty twist!
Order a hot drink - at the Glühwein Bar
As soon as the smell of cinnamon, cloves and orange meets you, you know you're in the right place. At Magical Maastricht Vrijthof you will find the Glühwein Bar, because a Christmas market without glühwein is unthinkable! Taste this winter classic, grab a hot red mulled wine and explore Vrijthof. It will warm you up and get you in the Christmas spirit immediately. Win-win!
