Experience Leeuwarden ho ho holidays!
December in Leeuwarden
The last leaves are falling from the trees, and the days are short, shorter, shortest. Although this would be the perfect time for a long winter's sleep, the people of Leeuwarden are doing anything but that. Local entrepreneurs drape their shops in green branches and beautiful ornaments, sparkling lights reflect off the dark city canals, and terraces light their outdoor fireplaces to warm up. One winter festival has just ended, and something new is already on the calendar. Cozy Christmas markets, winter city walks, and fairytale performances are waiting for you during a Luminous Fall.
