Cologne’s best‑known market unfolds on Roncalliplatz, directly under the twin spires of the Dom.
Rows of chalets sell crafts, regional food and sweet treats beneath a canopy of lights and a towering tree. It’s the flagship of a whole constellation of Cologne markets, so you can hop between scenes by foot or tram—from the Old Town to the Harbour market. With easy access via the main station, it’s one of the most convenient big German markets. Expect a lively evening crowd, choir performances and lots of photo‑ops.
