I loooove the Christmas market at the cathedral. So it’s probably not surprising if I tell you that it’s also my absolute favourite Christmas market of all! The reason? I went to this Christmas market as a child. Right in the centre where a stage is set up and live music is always played in the evenings. That’s when I looked up at the chain of lights stretching from the tree to the first stalls around it. It… was simply absolutely magical. Like looking straight up into a sky full of stars. Call me nostalgic, but that moment sealed it. Since then, this Christmas market has been the one of my heart. It’s also always the first and the last one I go to. Every year. Apart from that it really is a beautiful Christmas market. The imposing fir tree coming out above everything else, the Christmassy red roofs, the Christmas music blaring from little loudspeakers at the stalls/huts…. Ah what can I say, the sky full of stars caught me as a kid, the Christmas atmosphere picked me up as an adult. And there’s everything you could want: Mulled wine stalls, food stalls, masses of cool Christmas gifts, traditional Christmas stuff and of course Cologne stuff. Honestly, you have to come to Cologne in December. The Christmas markets are simply premium. So don’t think twice 😉
