The Stadtgarten Christmas Market is a cozy, intimate market set in a park, offering a more local experience away from the main tourist crowds. It’s a popular meeting spot for Cologne locals. Set under ancient tree canopies, the Christmas-decorated huts host over sixty rotating vendors each week. Local artisans, including designers, jewellers, ceramicists, photographers, and illustrators, showcase their unique crafts and designs. Visitors can also find specialty products from local gin distillers, honey producers, truffle product manufacturers and more. The experience is completed by diverse culinary offerings, organic mulled wine from vintners, and a family-friendly cultural program.
The Stadtgarten Christmas Market is one of six Christmas markets in Cologne. Click here to check out the other Christmas markets in Cologne.
