There is no better place to begin than at the Christmas market of hearts. Set at the foot of the stunning Cologne Cathedral, this Christmas market setting is one of Germanys most popular. With the sparkling tent of lights above the stalls in the centre of the market and a diverse stage program, visitors can look forward to a great variety of culinary delights and individual handicrafts.
With a total of 7 different Christmas markets in Cologne, all differently themed and within walking distance of each other, you can explore at your leisure. Alternatively hop on the Christmas Market Express for a short train ride between Christmas markets.
Looking for something different? Visit the Cologne Christmas Garden at Cologne Zoo, take to the ice with the spectacular ice rink at the market Heinzels Winter Fairytale and look out for the specially designed Glühwein mugs – a must for collectors.
