What people say

Megan Arzbaecher

"For a unique experience, check out Cologne’s gay Christmas market. It is the smallest of the markets on this list with only about 10 stalls to choose from. Just around the corner from the Nikolasdorf Christmas Market mentioned above, you can easily combine visits to both. This one doesn’t open until 4:00pm though. The colorful decor, live music, and friendly patrons are what people love about this Weihnachtsmarkt! There is also a gag gift stall that has lots of quirky Christmas ornaments and sexual themed gifts. The colorful pink and purple Christmas trees and disco lights are another highlight!"

Complete Cologne Christmas Market List

The most wonderful time of the year in Cologne 🎄🎅🎁 Cologne has a number of Christmas Markets (or Weihnachtsmarkt in German) all around the city. Each market has a unique theme, so each feels different than the last. If you were planning to visit, I would recommend budgeting two full days to see them all. I may be biased, but I think Cologne has some of the most memorable markets in all of Germany – and they regularly appear on some of the must-visit Christmas Market lists.
