Maritime Christmas Flair on the Rhine

Right on the Rhine, next to the Chocolate Museum in the Rheinauhafen harbour district, Cologne’s modern Harbour Christmas Market presents itself in a picturesque setting with a fresh new design. Browse stylish stalls offering high-quality arts and crafts and unique goods, and discover culinary delights from the region and around the world. Warm mulled wine invites you to linger, while a varied entertainment programme 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 Ferris wheel offers impressive views of the cathedral, the Rhine and the sparkling market. A visit to the Chocolate Museum can also be perfectly combined with your trip.

Look forward to special moments during the festive season by the Rhine – filled with sparkling lights, seasonal treats and a celebratory atmosphere for all ages.
