A Christmas market trip by bus takes you right into the old town without the hassle of searching for parking and brings you back home in the evening. If you want to drink mulled wine, you don't have to drive yourself. BOHR offers day trips to Christmas markets such as Cologne, Speyer, Esslingen, or Metz during Advent 2026, as well as multi-day Advent trips to Vienna, the Ore Mountains, or Belgium. Here you will find an overview of all the dates.
Christmas markets are often located in the heart of busy city centers – driving your own car means searching for parking and dealing with traffic. The bus, on the other hand, takes you close to your destination and brings you back in the evening. And the biggest advantage: If you want to enjoy mulled wine or punch, you don't have to worry about driving yourself.
Arrive close to the center instead of searching for a parking space in the crowded city center.
You don't have to drive – everyone will get home safely.
