When visiting a big city in winter, the exploration of the Christmas market should not be missed in any case. Therefore, definitely take a look at the Dortmund Christmas market, which stands between mid-November and late December. Enjoy the beautiful atmosphere with the largest Christmas tree in Germany and lots of different food and drinks. If you ever need a break from the cold, a visit to the spa is always a good idea. There you can relax and float in the water or just warm up in the sauna. If you like cultural things better, you can take a look at the last bunker of Dortmund, there you will learn more about the history of Dortmund. Should you be more interested in sporty things, then go watch a game of the soccer club BVB Dortmund, or a ice field hockey game of the Dortmund Ice Eagles. Also in winter, it's best to get everywhere by hired car, so you don't have to wait for public transportation in the freezing cold.

As the name one-way rental implies, this way you book a hired car for only one way.

But also the not too far away Castle Altena is worth a side trip, and if you are already in the region, then you should not miss a ride on the Wuppertal suspension railway. Another highlight of the region is also the Villa Hügel in Essen, which hosts rotating exhibitions, and if you're travelling with kids, you can also take a look at the Zeiss Planetarium in Bochum.
