A 2-day trip for your group: the Christmas markets in Düsseldorf's old town, followed by those in Cologne, from the foot of the cathedral to the angel market.
Neighbours on the Rhine, Düsseldorf and Cologne are among the liveliest Christmas cities in Germany. In Düsseldorf, your group strolls around the markets of the old town, from the town hall square to the angel market (Engelchenmarkt) on the Heinrich-Heine-Platz, before an evening in an Altbier brewery. The next day, Cologne offers the market at the foot of its UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral, the Heinzelmännchen winter fairy tale on the Heumarkt, with its ice rink, and the angel market on the Neumarkt. Mulled wine served in souvenir mugs, gingerbread and potato pancakes are all part of the festivities.
