Each market we attended had a different culture and it was fun to discover. My favorite was probably the one next to the cathedral in Cologne. This one had a community feel, complete with Glüwein and hot chocolate!
Thanks for a wonderful vacation Kestra! Totally in the Christmas spirit when I came home!!!!

Covid Protocols for Germany Tour
The U.S. CDC will no longer require air passengers traveling from a foreign country to the United States to show a negative COVID-19 viral test or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before they board their flight.
Germany Covid-19 levels are low, but it is best to make sure you are up-to-date with all your shots and boosters, and you test negative for Covid-19 at least 3 days prior to departure. Tourists testing positive for COVID-19 while in Germany might be issued a sanitary quarantine order.
Germany Tour FAQ

What currency is used in Germany? Should I exchange money at the airport?
The Euro. If you need cash during your trip, exchange money at your local bank before departure or in the airport.
How do I pack for this trip?
Due to the mountainous landscape, pack for cold days and colder nights. You'll get a packing checklist of all the things you need at our group pre-departure meeting.

Frankfurt International Airport.
Do I need any vaccinations or shots before I come on the Germany trip?
No, but it is highly recommended to get your Covid-19 shot and booster.
Should I invest in an international phone plan with my current provider?
Yes, and they might charge you roaming fees. If you don't want to pay extra for a phone plan, we have a hack for this we'll give you at the pre-departure meeting.

Yes! We will go over everything you need to enter and exit Germany as a tourist during one of our pre-departure meetings.
