Christmas magic in Cologne

Right in the heart of Cologne, the Christmas market at Cologne Cathedral awaits at the foot of the city’s magnificent landmark. During the Christmas season, a special atmosphere unfolds around a huge, beautifully decorated Christmas tree. From this centrepiece of the market, a sparkling canopy of stars stretches across Roncalliplatz.

Selected arts and crafts, seasonal treats and a varied stage programme featuring more than 100 free events invite you to browse, savour and enjoy.

Tip: From Tuesday to Thursday, the Christmas market offers a children’s programme with Punch and Judy shows, face painting and theatre performances.
