When I was there a few years ago there was an ice skating rink at the Christmas market but I’m not sure if you can rent it out or anything or if they do event like birthdays. You could try contacting the tourism office to see if they might have info about that or could put you in touch with someone who does. Good luck!

I’m glad it was helpful! Good point that a local pass can be a better deal in some cases, like with senior or youth discounts. For others, the DT ends up cheaper because the local pass was basically turned into the Deutschland-Ticket. For us, the DT was nearly half the price of what we paid for a 1 month transit pass in Berlin a few years ago!

I plan to do this since my next trip is all of October, no other month.
If a person is mainly in one city during parts of two months the local monthly ticket might be better. I have used this approach in Frankfurt because the local pass is good for any 30 (or 31?) consecutive days. And I also get the senior discount.

Hi Donna! My family in the US always opened our gifts on Christmas Eve too, and my mom did that when she was growing up. I loved it! Have a wonderful Christmas trip! It’s such a wonderful time to be there.

We opened presents on Christmas Eve. It was a magical time. Unfortunately, that is not the norm in the US and that treasured tradition went by the wayside. Looking forward to a Christmas trip to Germany.
Thank you for all of your information.

Hi Sarah!

The weather will likely still be cold in February but you could have some sunny days. Rain (or even snow) is always a possibility so bring an umbrella or even a waterproof jacket or shoes.

To best answer your other questions, I recommend booking either an itinerary review or a one-on-one consult in Zoom. I’ve helped hundreds of clients answer questions just like yours. 🙂 You can check out both options and read what previous clients have said here: https://www.mygermanyvacation.com/services/

I’d love to help you get your trip sorted so you have the best trip to Germany ever!

Hello,

We’re planning a trip to Germany at the end of February next year. What is the weather typically like during that time? Our itinerary includes arriving in Frankfurt, spending a day in Cologne, then heading to the Black Forest for about three days, followed by three days in Zurich, and returning to Frankfurt for three more days. Do you think this plan is good, or would you suggest any changes? Additionally, what places would you recommend visiting? Lastly, do you think purchasing a Eurail Global Pass is worthwhile for this trip?

Thank you!
