Düsseldorf in Advent:<br />
Exciting Mix of Christmas Market, Shopping and Winter Sports<br />
Whether on business, city trip or shopping<br />
tour: Düsseldorf is always worth a visit.<br />
The city’s attractiveness is reflected in<br />
the statistics of Düsseldorf airport. Direct<br />
connections to 180 destinations worldwide,<br />
77 airlines, 229,000 starts and<br />
landings and more than 18 million passengers<br />
per year underline the outstanding<br />
importance of the Rhine metropolis to<br />
visitors and locals. Arrivals at Germany’s<br />
third largest airport will rise drastically in<br />
December – during the Advent period<br />
Düsseldorf presents an unequalled, exciting<br />
mix of Christmas market, shopping<br />
and spectacular winter sports.<br />
Nostalgic market stalls, full shopping<br />
bags and world-famous athletes<br />
Until December 23 rd , the cheerful Christmas<br />
market presents itself with individual<br />
themes at different places in the lively city<br />
centre. Those<br />
who are unable<br />
to find a present<br />
for their beloved<br />
ones on the<br />
Christmas market have good chances of<br />
succeeding in Düsseldorf’s shops. It is<br />
well known that the city on the Rhine is<br />
one of the strongholds of the international<br />
fashion scene, and opportunities for<br />
shopping abound. Germany’s most famous<br />
luxury mile, Königsallee, is just one<br />
of the countless shopping hotspots in the<br />
city centre. On Sunday, December 13,<br />
shops are open from 1 to 6 p.m. for<br />
Christmas shopping.<br />
It is beyond doubt that Düsseldorf will<br />
have snow on the second weekend of Advent<br />
– not because of a climatic phenomenon,<br />
but because of the FIS cross-country<br />
skiing world cup.<br />
From December 4 to 6, a spectacular<br />
800 m run of artificial snow will be created<br />
for the 8th time against the background<br />
of Old Town and Rhine tower. Directly on<br />
the Rhine embankment, the world’s best<br />
cross-country skiers will compete for worldcup<br />
points. Apart from the suspense of<br />
the competition, spectators will again enjoy<br />
a diversified music and entertainment<br />
programme off the ski run – free of charge<br />
and open to everyone.<br />
Relax, feel good and celebrate<br />
Düsseldorf has a lot to offer all year round.<br />
The traditional Old Town and the Media<br />
Harbour attract with a trendy gastronomic<br />
scene - quaint pubs, cosy restaurants,<br />
gourmet eateries and hip bars. A boat<br />
trip on the Rhine along Düsseldorf’s Old<br />
Town and the city’s wide range of cultural<br />
facilities and programmes are also definite<br />
musts.<br />
