European Christmas Markets

Bruges, Cologne and Aachen in December — three countries, three market squares and the coach warm outside.

  • Three countries
  • Bruges canals
  • Cologne Cathedral
  • Evenings free

Overview

A short December run across to the Rhineland markets, taking in Bruges on the way out and Cologne and Aachen once we are over the German border.

The markets are compact and walkable, and the coach parks close to each square so coats, bags and purchases can go straight back on board. Evenings are free.

Departures run through late November and December and sell out quickly. Enquire early if you need a specific weekend.
