Local departure by coach, then to the outskirts of Cologne for a four-night stay.
Today we visit the majestic city of Cologne on our included excursion. This stylish and attractive city stands on the banks of the romantic River Rhine and you will have free time to explore all the city has to offer. During the Second World War around 90 percent of Cologne’s inner city was reduced to rubble. Today the Rhine metropolis is the fourth largest town and one of the most outstanding travel destinations in Germany and Europe. Cologne cathedral, famous around the world, dominates the panorama of the city and is the second highest building in Cologne after the telecommunications tower. The local cuisine, with its many traditional pubs and restaurants, is highly varied and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Whether it’s relaxing on the Rhine promenade or drinking a Kolsch in one of the typical breweries – a visit to Cologne is always worthwhile!
Includes Breakfast
Included tour along the Rhine Valley, first to Boppard, with its lovely Rhineside promenade. We then continue along the meandering scenery of the Moselle Valley to visit the riverside village of Alken, where you can toast the festive season with some local wines during an optional wine tasting at the famous House of Anton Hammes. As well as the wine-tasting you will have the opportunity to purchase the wine should you wish to do so. Tonight, celebrate with a buffet evening meal with live music and dancing and sparkling wine at midnight.
