Today we travel to the Bonn Christmas Market, a festive hive of tasty food and spectacular gifts surrounded by the city’s Bottlerplatz and historic Minster. The ideal place to find that unique gift, the market offers an array of delightful hand-crafted treasures, including jewellery, ornaments, and knitwear. We then move on to Cologne Christmas Market to indulge in the special festive atmosphere, while enjoying roasted chestnuts and mulled wine and admiring the sparkle of Cologne’s beautiful lights and stunning cathedral. We have time for dinner at a restaurant of your choice before returning to the hotel (not included).

We then head to the Düsseldorf Christmas Markets, where we have time to enjoy the festivities with a scrumptious cup of glühwein in hand.
