The best way for planning a trip to Cologne with family or friends.

Köln's famous Christmas Market is located on the city outskirts, near the famous Köln Cathedral. It's also the perfect place for an evening in a traditional German Christmas Village or for a late night snack. Cologne's Christmas Market is a unique place that brings traditional elements back to life in a new way.

You will want to explore the traditional Christmas Village as much as possible before visiting Cologne itself. There are a number of Christmas markets in Cologne. For the most part, there is only one on the city's periphery near the Cologne Cathedral. You will find the "Köln Christmas" or "Christmas Market" along the street leading to the Cathedral.

Christmas markets in Cologne - some facts

It is difficult to choose the most beautiful Christmas market in Germany. Each state has at least one place for such Christmas shopping in Germany, where you can enjoy a lot of time.

The first one was probably held in Saxony in 1434! Such fairs are the essence of the Christmas atmosphere - especially on cold, winter afternoons and evenings.

Most of the ones I studied were in northern Germany so that makes it difficult to chose the best one. The market in Wiesbaden, which was famous in Europe from the time of the Reformation, was the most popular - and very expensive - market in Germany.

And it had the largest number of vendors. But it was also a very dangerous one as it took place in an outdoor place.

The main reason that this market was not chosen for that purpose was that the market was on an island and the weather could be very cold.

In other words, a huge amount of visitors may casuse  lots of accidents at the market.

Are Christmas markets safe?

Unfortunately, our editorial office has received disturbing information that groups of thieves - pickpockets - are very active during fairs.

This type of criminal activity intensifies during the pre-holiday shopping fever.

Thieves take advantage of a large amount of people, rush and a safe world atmosphere.

Another  example to be considered is that during such events large number of scammers offering various worthless goods for a very large price. Examples include counterfeit jewelry imitating gold or diamonds.

It maybe a very dangerous place for women or their children.

But in Wiesbaden there were always lots of men around at the market. And they were not afraid, because they knew that the police would keep them away from the suspects .

But the police could not keep everyone out of the city if they had to, so people did not want to come to the market. The market also offered a very large number of gifts and it was very popular with visitors - who were invited only to buy gifts.

And they could choose whatever they wanted - or not - - they were free to choose what they wanted and what they gave.The biggest event on a Christmas evening in Wiesbaden is the market.

People always gather at these markets because it is in the summer. It is also the busiest one. They come to the markets to meet each other - to exchange presents or to buy gifts from each other. It is a very popular way that children gather at such markets. And then they go to the shopping center and shop, and then it ends there. Then they go back home and it is always a good day.

But in Germany people are very careful to some suspicious activity and report it to the police.
