Itinerary

Celebrate the Start of the Christmas Festivities in the Rhine Valley

Day 1 – Journey to Germany

We catch the ferry to Calais and journey onwards to our hotel in Remagen.

Day 2 – Cologne Christmas Markets

Today we spend the day in Cologne, Germany’s oldest city. There are no fewer than six separate Christmas Markets peppered across the city centre, with Cologne’s landmark gothic cathedral providing an impressive backdrop to the main market. Stalls are filled with a vast range of tempting and traditional goodies including handcrafted toys, keepsakes and ceramics.

Day 3 – Optional excursion to Koblenz Christmas Market (£12pp)

Today we have the option to visit the Christmas Market in the elegant city of Koblenz. Held in the picturesque Old Town, the Christmas Market has over 130 stalls providing a variety of hand-made goods, Christmas decorations and traditional German festive food and drink to get you in the mood for the season. Be sure to visit the Christmas bakery; with more sweet treats than Hansel and Gretel could shake a stick at!

Day 4 – Journey home

After breakfast we check out of our hotel and head back to Calais for our return ferry home.
