9 German Chirstmas Markets in 1 day | Cologne, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Duisberg, Essen & more
Today we are visiting 9 German Christmas markets in different cities in basically 12 hours one day!
All of the cities are located in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany which makes it convenient to travel to them.
On this adventure I am not alone I am joined with 3 friends, plus Blitzen was the one who came up with this crazy idea. It sounded crazy enough to try it. And without these guys this video would not be possible 🙂
Our goals for each christmas market was to:
Take a picture with a christmas tree
Eat one Christmas market food. In final stop we took more then one since we were pretty hungry.
Since it was a Sunday the markets were open from 11.00 till 21.00 at best. So the time was limited. Initially we wanted to go to ten but with the trains being inconsistent and this short time span it was just not possible.
Please note that time limitation in each market was very limited so we could not explore the full potential in each city like Cologne or Mulheim. So my final ranking was what it was :D

Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video. Remember, you matter ✨ and see you soon! ✨
heeeeey, the Brazilian anthem at 10 minutes 49 seconds of video. I liked!
não tinha reparado, amei!! Hahah
thanks for taking us through your christmas marathon hahahaha
I wanna go to Germany next year 😩 Btw how could you fit 9 locations into a video of 14 minutes? Shout out to the hardwork
If you come for Christmas, consider Dresden or Nuremberg; easily the best Christmas markets in Germany! Dresden's is cuter and more traditional imo, but it's easier to get lost (in a good way) in Nuremberg's old town.
This is my dream bucket list holiday. Greetings from Darwin, tropical Australia ❤🇦🇺
Cool! You should definitely visit Münster though! We have several christmas markets very close to each other :D
perfect editing!
Did Soap-Man wear the christmas cap reverse? it said Oh-Oh-Oh like a concerned teacher.
if you thought the Mülheim Christmas Market was tiny, the one in Lage is even tinier 😂 but we greatly appreciated it after getting bumped around in the Köln one 😊
Christmas markets look warm, fun and festive. I'd love to see them someday. Also, it makes me happy to see you and your friends doing this fun activity, it reminds me of how I and my friends had so much fun during the month of March in my part of the world. Oh, did I mention these markets are really cute!?
wooohoooow duisburg!!
In the U.S., potato pancakes are usually eaten with "apple sauce" (tho "apple mousse" sounds so much more appealing).
Cool and fun video as usual! 😅🥳
That's a lotta christmas!!

Really your videos are full of excitement to the best
Here to show some love for the Xmas markets vid :)
Very fun video! I hope you enjoyed the Ruhrpott!
Everything you ate look so yummy~~ I love this "visit all german christmas market" challenge ahahahah
All? If you repeated this every day during the season you wouldn't get to all. Perhaps you can make it in 5 years, but it would be a push.
@@balthazarbeutelwolf9097 You must be fun at parties
@@TheObscuragirl Not a problem. I am a computer scientist, only go to Computer Scientists' parties, and we just can't help it.
@@balthazarbeutelwolf9097 hahaha 😂

That Cranger Santa´s still haunting me in my dreams
This was exhausting. I’m glad you had a good time. 🎉
Banger of a video!
i come from schleswig(danish: slesvig)-holstein, the most northern state of germany on the danish border. in denmark, there is a little town called Tønder with a house called "det gamle apotek"(it means "the old pharmacy", but it isn't a pharmacy yet, maybe because of today's health regulations), with a basement full of christmas products all year round.
I love your animations soooo much! This is so cute. I discovered your channel today and can't stop watching.
That was fun!
I wasn't planning on it but maybe I need to visit a christmas market? 🤔
You should have carried on from Dortmund and gone to Soest instead of Herne. Oldest town in Westfalen.
Rhein-Ruhr metropolitan area is actually one city, fyi 🙃
Aww, this was a very cool idea, looks super fun :3
Erika you inspired me to visit Köln..Thank you😍.. Love your videos.. big fan
Looks like a fun day! Does Germany still have that great 9-euro train ticket?
no sadly not
Es kostet jetzt 49 Euro
such a cute idea !! :) i was thinking duisburg was my favorite, and then saw at the end you agreed:)
Thanks for this great video. Love from ireland❤
🇵🇹👍🏻💚❤️Dortmund in Westfallen and Koln in Rheinland!🇩🇪
7:41 coitado até o Papai Noel tem que trabalhar na Alemanha. ❤❤❤
I was planning to immigrate to Germany but its language is the hardest language I have ever encountered. The only sentence I didn't forget for some reason is 🇩🇪 Sie dürfen hier nicht laut sprechen ! And that's my deutsch So I decided to immigrate to Spain 🇪🇸 becuase this language is one of the eaisest language thank god It doesn't have that weird made up deutsch grammar .
Es muss eine beeindruckende Herausforderung gewesen sein... Ich verstehe nicht: Warum reisten die Vertreter des Weihnachtsmanns mit dem Zug und nicht mit einem traditionelleren Transportmittel (Hirsch)??? Ich hoffe, Sie hatten auch Gelegenheit, die Weihnachtsstimmung zu genießen - nicht nur die Lust, Ihre Follower zu verwöhnen.🧐
1:10 I did that exact pose but with 1 arm. Everyone was staring at me weirdly?
How to edit your videos?
11:11 as grades são para as criancas nao tocarem que bom que voce não se queimou . 😂😂❤❤
As a native Mülheimer I'm sorry. Even Mülheimer don't go to the one you went to. There are other (better) ones: the one in the Old Town, the one in Saarn, the one in the courtyard of a medieval castle, and for a few days there is even a Christmas thing on a boat on the Ruhr. So you really witnessed the worst Mülheim has to offer and I sincerely apologize. We are lame, but not that lame.
Do the markets take cards or cash only?
I mostly paid with cash but I was really suprised that some (or even most) i could pay by card
12:20 Eu falei "Eu gostei, não tem como fazer o cookies errado." Ele mostrou que tem. 😂😂😂
what colour is your bratwurst
Love the medieval style cities. Makes me feel like I'm in a fairytale, Christmas is truly a hotspot in Germany. I would definitely go there for the cakes and music festivals. However most Germans are secular and do it cause it's just a tradition that they're used to. Same here in the US
Travel through the Germany by train... Ho are you doing this, guys? A few weeks ago I needed to get from Amsterdam to Frankfurt an we choose train. We bought ticket with no changing trains buuuuuuut, a few moments ago, after train started to move, they said, that train going only to Dusseldorf, we are late and we can change train on another, which are late too... We paid for booking a places......................................... And of course, after changing train, our booking was invalid. And this train late too, during moving appeared additional two stops and train been so full, that people sitted on floor. And 300km/h now saved the trip. Maybe, better not travel by German trains after huge train travel around Netherlands, but by the way, I don't want use German trains after this trip.
