Christmas in Düsseldorf
The city lights up festively, the Dome of Lights shines brightly, the smell of roasted almonds fills the air and the Düsseldorf Christmas market attracts visitors with arts and crafts, the Old Town market and delicious treats. Not forgetting the ice rink at the end of Königsallee, which invites you to go ice skating in winter. The entire city centre of Düsseldorf is transformed into a Christmas paradise, lined with hundreds of Christmas trees. Stroll around, buy presents and experience Christmas - here in Düsseldorf, everything is just a mulled wine away. And if you want to get up high, take a ride on the Ferris wheel on Burgplatz and enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view of the city.
