Stylish Christmas highlight in Cologne!

Against a picturesque backdrop directly on the Rhine, the Cologne Harbour Christmas Market at the Chocolate Museum will once again enliven the gateway to the Rheinauhafen and add a maritime facet to Christmas in Cologne.
Here, your guests will experience an extraordinary atmosphere and a wide range of Christmas products.
Numerous artisans and restaurateurs invite you to stroll through the sea of white pagoda tents.
The square in front of the Chocolate Museum has been a tried and tested address among Cologne’s Christmas markets for over 20 years.
The location near the Old Town and directly on the Rhine is one of the most beautiful in Cologne and can be reached on foot in just a few minutes via the Rhine embankment promenade from the Old Town/Dom and the city center.
Together with the Chocolate Museum, the listed harbor swing bridge (Cologne’s oldest preserved bridge over the Rhine), the Malakoff Tower (the historic watchtower at the entrance to Cologne’s harbor) and the modern art’otel, the market square forms the entrance to a brand new district – the Rheinauhafen.

This makes the Cologne Harbour Christmas Market an extremely exciting and attractive destination for your guests in the most beautiful ambience and with an unusual motto as a “Christmas market on the water”.
A visit to the Chocolate Museum or a ride on the Cologne Giant Ferris Wheel round off the experience.
