Yes but not in camper van..might be chilly? Aachen MUCH the best. Cologne very commercialised with several different markets with tourist trains running between. Much bigger but lots of stalls selling same stuff so not worth it in my opinion. Nice lindt chocolate outlet at Aachen too! We stayed just in Holland and went by coach to both towns. Car parks very full.

Bridie,

I know this thread is a year old but if you are reading it could you let me know where you stayed in Holland? Anyone else have any good tips for sites from where you can visit any of the good xmas markets?

Thanks

John

It's between 40 minutes and an hour by train, according to the German train site. All trains seem to be direct, so it could hardly be easier.
