🇩🇪 Cologne & Dusseldorf: CHRISTMAS MARKETS! 🏰 Hike to Schloss Drachenburg, Stroll around beautiful Bonn, 🍫 Visit a chocolate factory & 🛥️ Cruise along the river Rhine

Cologne & Dusseldorf are two of those cities that are packed full of surprises, you don't want to plan too much whilst you're there hence why it's the perfect place to spend a fluid few days. There’s boundary-pushing architecture, amazing nightlight & an art scene that can rival many higher-profile cities in Dusseldorf. Cologne is known for its joyous attitude and party spirit. The city is a matter of the heart, an emotion and an unfalteringly positive state of mind. I will be working on the Monday & Tuesday but mornings, evenings & the weekend I will be free to explore the city & would love you to join whether you're working or not!! I am looking for fun, open-minded TripMates who enjoy good conversation, a mixture of activities & trying new things to join me on this short but sweet visit to Germany 🤩🤗 INCLUSIONS: ➡️ Logistics & booking responsibility taken care of by myself ➡️ Cheaper trip costs overall - my price is based on discounted activities/accommodations due to my connections in the industry ➡️ Accommodation: twin rooms in a 4* Hotel ➡️ Transport between cities & for days out of the city ➡️ Experienced, fun & knowledgeable trip leader! ➡️ Pre-departure guidance including help with flight timings, what to pack etc ➡️ Destination specific WhatsApp group for general travel questions & to meet your team before arriving ➡️ Travel insurance if you are a resident of Germany or Austria EXCLUSIONS: ➡️ F&B: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner & drinks ➡️ Spending money for souvenirs ➡️ Activities/sightseeing outside of the itinerary ➡️ Transport around the cities & to extra places you choose to visit outside of the itinerary 🗺 ITINERARY & GROUP SIZE: The nice thing about JMT is it’s for independent travelers so if you want to take a day to yourself or have some ‘you time’ you don’t need to feel restricted to stay with the group like you would need to do on a more structured corporate group trip! It really is 'take a look at what the city offers & decide what you'd like to do that's right for you. There will be roughly 4-6 of us on this trip :) 📍 MEETING POINT: You will need to arrive into Cologne Bonn airport (CGN) & make your own way to the accommodation. We need to meet at the hotel lobby by 11:00am to start the activities today. Our room may not be ready so if this is the case we can leave luggage with the hotel reception. 📝 VISAS: Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival into Cologne or travel freely if from the EU. Please check BEFORE booking that you are eligible for a visa & you have a valid passport – these essentials are down to yourself to check & ensure validity. You will also need to check if Germany has any alternative entry requirement forms or documents you need on arrival to be able to enter the country. ❤️‍🩹 INSURANCE: Travel insurance is included if you are a resident of Germany or Austria. You can view all the inclusions & exclusions of this insurance here: www.joinmytrip.com/en/t/travel-insurance. For any other TripMates, you will need to purchase your own Travel Insurance, which also covers you for Medical expenses should you need it whilst we are away. 📱WHATSAPP GROUP: I will be making a ‘Cologne/Dusseldorf JMT’ specific group WhatsApp before we depart for us to start these conversations where I can answer any questions you may have about the trip.
