The Cologne Christmas Market is a truly special Christmas market in Germany. Cologne turns its Christmas market into a grand event every year. Many stalls boast delicious treats and fun little trinkets. It's a great way to pick up some gifts for under the tree. And perhaps the snacks and a glass of mulled wine can inspire your Christmas menu.

The Cologne Christmas market is magnificent. There's plenty to see and do in the many squares and surrounding streets. But that's not what makes the Cologne Christmas market so special. It's the setting that makes it so special. A square full of charming stalls and beautiful Christmas lights, with Germany's largest and most impressive Cathedral in the background. You simply have to see and experience it. The presence of the Cathedral gives the Cologne Christmas market a special touch.
