Cologne Harbour Christmas Market

Maritime Christmas Flair on the Rhine

Right on the banks of the Rhine, next to the Chocolate Museum in the Rheinauhafen district, the modern Cologne Harbour Christmas Market presents itself in a picturesque setting with a fresh design. Among stylish stalls offering high-quality handicrafts and unique goods, you’ll discover culinary delights from the region and around the world. Hot mulled wine invites you to linger, while a diverse entertainment program creates a festive Christmas atmosphere.

Its location near the Old Town and directly by the water is one of the most beautiful spots in the city. A ride on the 48-metre-high Ferris wheel offers you breathtaking views of the Cathedral, the Rhine, and the sparkling market below. You can also perfectly combine your visit with a trip to the Chocolate Museum.

Look forward to special Christmas moments by the Rhine – filled with sparkling lights, indulgence, and a festive atmosphere for young and old alike.

Our recommendations

At the Cologne Chocolate Museum, a chocolate expert in a traditional outfit guides a group of children and adults through the exhibition. The scene is rounded off by a modern backdrop with a view of the Rhine.
