Every year, the city centre of Cologne is touched by the magic of the festivities in the run-up to Christmas.The markets attract over 2 million people in this short time. There are four markets to choose from the larger Christmas markets are held in downtown Cologne. The stalls near the cathedral are arranged around a huge christmas tree.As well as the stalls you can also expect to be entertained with a diverse programme of live music performances and a skating rink.
The magic of Christmas will be felt throughout the festively decorated city. The aroma of baked apples, cinnamon biscuits and mulled wine will waft through the alleys, and many differently themed Christmas markets will invite people to stroll, shop and explore.
