Overview
Savour the festive traditions of the Continent as we visit the Netherlands and Germany and enjoy a trip to the Three-Country Point in Vaalserberg. The unique range of Christmas markets on our short break feature stands bursting with traditional and contemporary crafts and local specialities. There’s even a secret treasure trove of Christmas stalls collected in subterranean Valkenburg – a unique cave of wonders that’s not to be missed.
Itinerary
- We catch the ferry to Calais and continue on to our hotel in the Netherlands, stopping en-route for an evening meal (not included).
- Today we travel to the Maastricht Christmas Market which provides plenty of Christmas cheer with its carousel, Ferris wheel and numerous stalls featuring a variety of gifts and local treats. We then move on to sample the Christmas Market in Valkenburg, situated in this enchanting Dutch town’s ancient network of tunnels and caves and considered the largest and oldest underground Christmas market in Europe. We have time to enjoy dinner at a restaurant of our choice (not included) in the town before returning to the hotel.
- En-route to Cologne, we make a stop at Vaalserberg, the highest point in mainland Netherlands. Here we find the famous Three-Country Point, where Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium meet. The rest of the day is spent in Cologne, which has no fewer than six separate Christmas markets around the city centre, with the landmark cathedral providing an impressive backdrop to the main market. Stalls offer a vast range of traditional goodies including handcrafted toys, keepsakes and ceramics. We have time to find a local restaurant for dinner (not included) before our coach takes us back to the hotel.
- We check out of our hotel and head back to Calais for our return ferry home.
