Visits to Cologne & Düsseldorf Markets

Day 1

With comfort stops along the way, we journey to our 4-star hotel in Düsseldorf.

Day 2

After breakfast, we head to the centre of Düsseldorf to experience the city in its festive glory. Transformed into a winter wonderland, the atmospheric Christmas Market stretches across the whole centre - all within easy walking distance.

Day 3

Today, we take you to Cologne, where the magic of Christmas is alive! Visit the famous Christmas market in front of the dramatic Cologne Cathedral, or take a stroll into the Old Town to the Alter Markt. Rustic wooden stalls sell unique trinkets and traditional foods throughout the cobbled square - look carefully to spot the gnomes peeping over the stall roofs!

Day 4

Bursting with cheer and a Christmas present or two, we retrace our footsteps home.
