Christmas market at the Cologne Cathedral

In the heart of Cologne, the Weihnachtsmarkt am Dom (Christmas market at the Cathedral) will welcome visitors with a huge decorated Christmas tree next to the impressive Cathedral. 
From this central hub of the Christmas market, a twinkling tent of starlight will be spread out above Roncalliplatz.
Every year, countless visitors are invited to saunter and browse through this market, sampling the carefully selected crafts and organic culinary specialities and enjoying a diverse Christmas stage programme featuring more than 100 free events.

Our special tip: Every Tuesday and Thursday, children are invited to come to the Kaspertheater (Punch and Judy show) in the Sternenwarte (observatory) from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
