MONSCHAU & AACHEN ~ CHRISTMAS MARKETS

The German Christmas Markets are the most traditional and well-known markets in Europe, famous for their atmosphere and festive charm.  Wooden stalls embellished with fairy lights stuffed like stockings, sell everything from ginger cookies to ornate music boxes, hand-carved nutcrackers to wooden toys.  The enchanting town of Monschau has extraordinarily well-preserved, half-timbered houses which are centuries old, tucked into the peaceful, hilly landscape.  Aachen is a renowned health & spa town and the beautiful cathedral and town hall dominate the centre of the city, around which the Christmas markets are based, creating a lovely atmosphere.

After breakfast, you will have the whole day free to explore Monschau.  The town is set in a deep valley on the edge of the River Ruhr and is a truly fairytale setting.  Enjoy the festivities of the Christmas Market and perhaps pay a visit to the Glassworks and Craft Market - definately not to be missed.  All in all, a perfect shopping experience.  Once again, your evening meal will be served at the Hotel after which you will have the evening at leisure to do as you wish.
