A village of Christmas market chalets on Museumplein

Ice Village is made up of adorable little wooden chalets on the edge of the ice rink. Browse the Christmas market and find everything from Christmas gifts to warm food like waffles and poffertjes, fashion and lifestyle items and decorations for your house, from Christmas trees to wreaths.
