Visit the closest German Christmas Market.

Join us for an unforgettable extended day trip to Aachen, one of the closest German Christmas Markets. With twinkling lights and the smell of mulled wine and gingerbread wherever you go, it’s no coincidence that Aachen Christmas market has regularly made it to the top five Best Christmas Markets in Europe in recent years.

Itinerary

We depart Friday evening and travel south for our crossing to Calais. After a short channel crossing, we continue to Aachen, one of the closest of the German Christmas where the squares and lanes around Aachen Cathedral and the City Hall are transformed into a Christmas village with a quaint medieval atmosphere.

The first Christmas market in Aachen was held in 1973 with only a dozen stalls. By 1989 that number had quintupled, and today there are over 120 illuminated stalls, selling a great variety of Christmas treats and unique gifts. The streets will be festively decorated with thousands of lights and the traditional wooden chalets offer everything from mulled wine and delicious foods to handmade candles and Christmas ornaments.

The main market is located at Marktplatz am Rathaus, Katschhof and Münsterplatz right in the heart of the city. In addition to this, there are two small markets, selling mainly food at Holzgraben and Kugelbrunnen.

After a full day of exploring the markets and getting those unique gifts, the coach departs in the evening, and we make our way back to Calais for our channel crossing back to the UK, before arriving at our pickup points late Saturday night/early Sunday morning.

Please note admissions to museums and monuments are not included
