Things to do in Valkenburg, Limburg Province: The Best Historic Sites

September 27, 2021 Timmy Ribble

At Christmastime, the entire city of Valkenburg seems to sparkle with festive light. The annual underground Christmas market is a hallmark of the city, lasting from mid-November through December 23. It’s held in the Velvet Caves, a maze of 12th-century passageways that lies beneath the remains of Valkenburg’s hilltop castle. The caves and castle draw visitors year-round. Valkenburg is a biking city. It's a great base for cycling tours and is a two-time stage finish site for the Tour de France.

Museum Romeinse Katakomben

Museum Romeinse Katakomben brengt de kleurrijke catacomben van het Rome uit de derde en vierde eeuw in beeld, samengebracht in een mystiek ondergronds labyrint. Het museum is aan het begin van de 20e eeuw gerealiseerd in opdracht van de familie Diepen, onder leiding van de architect Pierre Cuypers. In de aan het gangenstelsel grenzende expositieruimtes wordt een actueel programma gepresenteerd waarbij de verbinding tussen verleden en heden centraal staat.

It is a replica, but, trust me...fantastic! If you are here, go and visit them. Much nicer than all the other caves in Valkenburg.
