SUMMARY:Leiden's Winter Wonder Weeks will turn the city into a festive wonderland (yes\, even more charming than usual)
DESCRIPTION:Turns out Leiden in winter is pretty magical. The Winter Wonder Weeks are back\, transforming the historic city centre into a cosy\, festive haven complete with ice skating\, Christmas markets\, and enough gezelligheid to warm even the coldest Dutch winter day. \nRunning throughout December\, this annual celebration offers everything you need to embrace the season: from nostalgic fairground rides to extended shopping hours for the perfect last-minute gift. \nWhether you’re keen to try some mulled wine at a Christmas market or give the floating ice rink a whirl\, there’s something here for everyone who’s ready to trade their bike for ice skates. \n\n   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView this post on Instagram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nA post shared by Winter Wonder Weken Leiden (@winterwonderwekenleiden) \n\n\n \n🎠 Nostalgic Christmas market\nWander through wooden stalls selling seasonal treats\, handmade crafts\, and all the kitsch Christmas trinkets your heart desires. \nRunning from December 12 to 14 and from December 18 to 21\, you’ll find everything you need on the Hooglandse Kerkgracht. \n⛸️ Floating ice rink\nYes\, you read that right\, there’s a floating ice rink! \nIt’s basically the Dutch version of showing off\, and you can glide (or stumble) across the ice whilst surrounded by Leiden’s historic canals. Tickets are required\, but they’re totally worth it. \n🎡 Nostalgic fair\nFancy a trip down memory lane? This nostalgic fair features old-school rides and attractions that’ll transport you back to simpler times (like before you had to navigate the Dutch tax system). \n🛍️ Extended shopping hours\nLeiden shops are keeping their doors open later during the holidays\, so you can finally do your Sinterklaas and Christmas shopping without the usual time pressure. Check individual shop hours to plan your spree. \nThe events are spread across the city centre\, including the Hooglandse Kerkgracht\, Garenmarktplein\, and the Nieuwe Rijn. All these areas are easily accessible by foot\, bike\, or a short bus ride from Leiden Centraal. \n📅 When: Throughout December 2025 and January 2026 (specific dates vary by event) \n📍 Where: Various locations in Leiden city centre \n💸 Cost: Most events are free; the Floating Ice Rink requires a ticket \nReady to embrace your inner winter child and explore Leiden at its cosiest? You can find the full programme and ticket info for the ice rink here.
