About
In Düsseldorf the Christmas market is not one square but a route: several differently styled markets follow on from the city centre into the old town, with crafts, food stands and decorations. On Burgplatz a 55-metre Ferris wheel gives a fine view over the Rhine, while the 'Kö on Ice' rink livens up the Königsallee. The market stays open after Christmas until 30 December. If you drive, the airport park-and-ride combi ticket with Rheinbahn transit beats circling the busy city-centre garages.
Opening hours
Individual stalls may stay open until 10 pm. The Ferris wheel, the Kö on Ice rink and the Rhine-side Christmas promenade have their own hours.
