Christmas 2014 in Düsseldorf, Germany
Petit-Swag is BACK!
My husband and I recently returned from a much-needed holiday getaway to Düsseldorf, Germany. While Mario stayed home with his Abuelita (grandma) and cousin, and though we missed him terribly, it was a wonderful opportunity for us to enjoy time together.
In Düsseldorf, we explored the Alstadt (Old Town), strolling its cobblestone streets and visiting the many charming Christmas Markets scattered across the city. We enjoyed the mulled wine and browsed traditional German arts, crafts, and treats. We also visited the Media Harbour, a former industrial area transformed into a contemporary architectural hub.
On our last day, we took a train to Cologne, where we explored several more Christmas Markets. The most spectacular was outside Cologne's Central Train Station, with the magnificent Cathedral as its backdrop.
We’re so happy to be home with Mario but loved every moment of our trip. Here are some photos from our Christmas holiday in Düsseldorf!
