Cologne Christmas Markets
The city of Cologne hosts six Christmas markets. The four largest Christmas markets are located at Cologne Cathedral, on the Alter Markt, on the Neumarkt and on the Rudolfplatz. Every year these four markets attract almost 2 million visitors. The market at Cologne Cathedral is particularly impressive due to the the imposing Cathedral. The Christmas market on the Alter Markt takes place in front of the city hall. It has an especially idyllic atmosphere because of its half-timbered stalls. Cologne's oldest Christmas market is the market on the Neumarkt, in the shopping area against the backdrop of the Church St. Aposteln. The market on the Rudolfplatz takes place in front of the Hahnentorburg. There is also the Medieval Christmas Market outside the Chocolate Museum and a floating Christmas Market on board the MS Wappen von Mainz
There is plenty of entertainment on offer including a huge temporary ice rink on Heumarkt.

We visited Cologne Christmas Market in 2006 and had a fantastic time. There are a few large markets all close to the centre of the city which made them easy to get to on foot. The markets held a range of goods from flavoured mustards to nutcrackers. There was also a wide range of food stalls too selling both meat and vegetarian options, not to mention the tasty Gluhvein!
The Lindt Chocolate factory is also in the centre and we spent a fab morning wondering around there! A small 'train' takes you between the main sites and markets in Cologne too if you want to save some time or take a break for a while.
Overall, we had a fantastic time in Cologne - the atmosphere, quality and range of products on the stalls, as well as the fab food, meant it was a great Christmas trip! I would visit again and highly recommend it.
