Works as a day trip

On Tuesdays with the 20:50 home to London Heathrow: you're in Dusseldorf 10:07 to 18:58 and the market is open from 11:00. About 2.5 hours of that is after dark.

Getting to Dusseldorf and back in a day

1 UK airport
London Heathrow
Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sun
Out from 06:40, home as late as 20:50 on Tue (local time)
Whole day from £175, checked 6 Oct

Airport to the centre: S-Bahn S11, 12 min, €3.80.

Getting around: Rheinbahn/VRR 24h-Ticket Einzel, Preisstufe A, €7.60.

How the day-or-night answer works: the latest flight home, minus 12 minutes back to the airport, minus 90 minutes at the airport. The 90 minutes is our assumption. Flight times are the saved winter timetable, not a booking.
