With Gingerbread & Punch – Düsseldorf’s Winter Wonderland

Treats, a festive atmosphere and magical moments under the Christmas lights. Once again, every alley in Düsseldorf’s Altstadt (Old Town) is lit up in seasonal splendour, shining with Christmas sparkle. The scent of mulled wine and nostalgia hang in the air. But what lies behind all the beloved Christmas traditions that are so deeply rooted in Düsseldorf?

Together, we’ll take a relaxed tour of the city and explore the stories surrounding the Christmas season – which not only play out in Düsseldorf’s Altstadt (Old Town) with its historic charm. On the Königsallee, the Lichterdom with its 3,500 lights creates a truly enchanting scene.

How did the Christkind come to play such an important role? When did the tradition of Christmas markets begin in Düsseldorf? And what did Joseph Beuys have in mind with angels? Our guide will provide you with fascinating facts and myths about Christmas and the Advent season – from the art of gingerbread making to the cultural history of the Christmas tree.

We’ll finish the tour with a cup of mulled wine or a hot chocolate as well as a delicious Christmas treat.
