In the heart of Cologne’s Old Town, Heinzels Winter Fairytale invites visitors to stroll around Alter Markt and Heumarkt during the Christmas season. The Christmas market brings the legend of the Cologne Heinzelmännchen – the city’s little house elves – to life in lovingly designed themed lanes and showcases arts and crafts from across Europe. One particular highlight is the spectacular ice rink at Heumarkt.
By the way: The area at Heumarkt remains open until 10 January 2027.
