The most original Christmas market, makes you feel like you are in a movie! We ice-skated (amateurish) and tasted different snacks. We visited at the end of the first week of January, so it wasn't really crowded.

An amazing spot for entertainment! We had a really great time and got unforgettable memories. I wanna get back! This place is must see for everyone definitely (a little Christmas fairy tale in Cologne)

We visited for the Christmas Market, which was fantastic for food, drinks and activities on the ice. The other part in Altermarkt has the big wheel and bands. There are also some good bars around the square, allowing for people watching

There is always something to see at the Heumarkt 🌞🍺🍷 if you have the chance to visit the winefestival - go for it! Super tasty wines and a funny and tipsy atomosphere!

Beautifull christmas market with the ice skating ring! Lots of good food, like bavarian spatzle and allgauer beers! It was very crowded at night so we came in the morning to take pictures! The best!

A really buzzing market at this time of year. Loaded with atmosphere but the crowds are not for the faint hearted. Masses to see, a feast for the eyes and the tummies. The aromas, sound and visual experience will stay with you for a long time.

Heumarkt in Cologne captures the essence of the city's vibrant culture with its lively atmosphere and historic charm. The square is a delightful blend of modern amenities and traditional architecture, offering a perfect backdrop for both casual strolls and vibrant social gatherings. The diverse array of cafes and restaurants around Heumarkt provide a culinary journey through local flavors, making it an ideal spot to unwind and indulge in the rich tapestry of Cologne's culinary scene. Whether it's enjoying a leisurely afternoon or immersing in the lively evening ambiance, Heumarkt stands out as a must-visit locale that seamlessly weaves together the old and the new in this charming city.

Great place ! We enjoyed a lot during two days the Christmas market which was organized so well and very beautiful. Decorations and the ambiance was so magic as well for kids and adults. The food makers was chosen so well to present the local traditional food.

Visited the Christmas Market during the first week of December. Great experience as I was new to Europe/Germany. Definitely a great activity with friends or local acquaintances for cultural immersion. It gets really crowded as the night goes by so plan accordingly.

Nice place . Must see in cologne

(Translated by Google) Cozy place all year round but especially with the famous Christmas markets every year. Recommended and easy parking in parking garage under this square. (Original) Gezellige plek hele jaar door maar speciaal met de beroemde kerstmarkten ieder jaar weer. Aanrader en makkelijk parkeren in parkeer garage onder dit plein.

A major tourist attraction as the former market square is in the old town and close to all the major tourist attractions in Cologne. The square is pretty much dominated by the equestrian sculpture of Friedrich Wilhelm III in the centre of the square, which by the way is magnificent. Like typical European public squares, there’s an array of restaurants and cafes around the square. The square has a lovely old town feel with its cobbled stones and traditional architecture, but still very touristy! The square is also very easy to get to as there’s a tram stop and underground station.

We visited during the wine week and had an amazing time. Highly recommended

(Translated by Google) Nice market. Lots of benches to rest. All-round good gastronomy with outside seating. From here it is only a short distance to the Rhine and the old town.

Beautiful Place. Nice Restaurants and Bars

The prettiest most well thought out Christmas market I've ever been to. Had all one would want including an ice rink.

Beautiful place, great environment.

A little crowded and they should accept card more, but very nice place to visit during winter!

Really nice place surrounded by coffee shops and restaurants. Great to enjoy a summer day outside.

We had a table of 4. Food was really good and well priced. We didn’t have to wait long between the meals. Waiters were so nice and funny.

It’s good to take a stroll and have a meal there. Meet old car presentation accidentally.

Fantastic square! With great atmosphere. We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary, in the first week July.

Great Christmas market here found a few bits but something's way over priced

Great place

I loved the eateries and the vibe of the place. You can enjoy the view of the spectacular Rhine river nearby

Nothing special, a few old-style arhitecture with many overpriced bars and restaurants. Even those do not offer any extraordinary experience. Good meeting point to start exploring the city but not worth staying longer

Lovely area close to the Rhine had a lovely meal here and really great beer

The place is beautifully decorated for Christmas and although it is really crowded this time of year in the Christmas markets, it's definitely worth fighting the crowd. The atmosphere is jolly and the pricing is pretty fair. There's also an ice skating rink but I dont have much info about it since I didn't get a chance to try it out. It's incredibly to go from one market to another in this town, I was able to walk between all of them.

The bus stations are so chaotic. If you do not ask a bunch of people you will not find the right station.

Quite a nice market square.

It was a very pleasant place. Good spot for tourists as there are lots of restaurants nearby. Very close to the RHEIN river, RHEIN bridge and Köln Dom.

Supercool😎

(Translated by Google) A very nice place to relax in the old town. Numerous restaurants, cafés and local breweries invite you to enjoy delicious food and drinks. Unfortunately, there are only a few seating options on the hay market itself. What isn't so nice is the arcade. There are figures romping about where it is best to avoid it. It would be worth considering closing this arcade in order to run a supermarket or something similar there. (Original) Ein sehr schöner Ort, um in der Altstadt etwas zu entspannen. Zahlreiche Restaurants, Cafés und einheimische Brauhäuser laden zu leckeren Speisen und Getränke ein. Auf dem Heumarkt selbst, sind leider nur wenige Sitz Möglichkeiten. Was nicht so schön ist, ist die Spielhalle. Dort tummeln sich Gestalten, wo man am besten einen Bogen drum macht. Wäre eine Überlegung wert, diese Spielhalle zu schließen, um dort vielleicht ein Supermarkt, oder ähnliches zu betreiben.

Great location many restaurants

Great Snitzel! and very friendly personell

Centre of town with all your shopping needs and nearby historical landmarks. Local transport is also a-plenty.

Lots of bars and restaurants probably the place to be im Köln.

Nice place with lots of places to set and have a nice drink

Best location in köln

Visited this place in the first week of December. Was about 6 degrees. Filled with a lot of food stalls which was part of the christmas market. The Christmas stalls themselves were there but fewer and I found the small items a bit expensive. Layout of stalls was good. Ice skating was well organized. Affordable €8 and skates were available for rent €6. Can bring your own skates. Locker facilities available but only small lockers for €1. Cannot hold a big backpack. Also had another game for those not wanting ice skating.

The place was beautiful, the vendors, the smell, and the drinks were amazing! It is definitely worth the train right there

Nice Christmas Market, that's the only thing I visited and can talk about

This is perfect place to enjoy Christmas Market in Köln.. it has amazing vibes and it's very difficult to describe in words.... So instead of wasting a time in reading reviews just enjoy the place...

Very nice to visit

The center and gathering point of cologne city. The Christmas market held here. People can also enjoy the beauty of Rhein river just two minutes walk from here

Was lovely and festive with the winter markets taking place. Needed to be double jabbed to visit the markets which wasn't an issue.

A nice area with good restaurants and cafes to choose from. Only a 15 mins walk from the main station, or you can take the trams or buses instead.

Stopped here for a beer and some lunch on my day out in Cologne. Nice sunny Sunday afternoon in April, a bit cold but the atmosphere was great. Food and beer good too.

Super place for weekend Lots of restaurants Nice food Good connectivity across Köln It's a historical place We can go the König Era by imagination. Also, Modern building architecture So many instant musics by nice people

I was on CSD there and it was really pretty, kept clean and good organised. I loved it!Everything needed was close by and the people there were super friendly.

Beautiful square with lots of shops and restaurants. Minutes walk from tram or underground transit. Also very close to the main train station of Koln. (Koln - Altstadt - Nord).

We have visited it during winter when the Christmas market was still there. What a fairy tale

Decent parking. Central location. Square itself isn't as exciting as others in the area but the location is a good start if you're driving into the city.

Lovely!!!! In particular the 'Apostle XII' makes a great wedding + carneval hotel + pub + restaurant setting with Italian treats only a couple of minutes away from Gürzenich + Dom!!!! The hottest location in the heart of the city!!!!

Beautiful venue for the Xmas Market, even in the rain & the cold. Some excellent, well priced food and drink available. Fewer crafts than some of the other markets.

Very fun place. Ice rink, good drinks and tasty snacks both sweet and salty.

Amazing Christmas Market. Ice Skaing, Curling, Wooden Booths that are extremely well decorated. This Christmas is awesome. I have been to a lot of them in Germany and I would rank this as #1 so far. It is very cozy. Lots of indoor and outdoor places to eat and drink and enjoy the festive season.

Consists of two markets that merge into one. Great market and probably one of the best. Amazing atmosphere and remember to look up at the gnomes as they are hilarious! Great variety of markets, trinkets, food and drink. Would definitely recommend. Also great if you like ice skating and curling which are available here.

An old town square, Haymarket, is one of the large squares that still features a typical Cologne Christmas market until January 8th. Great attractions for young and old alike are, besides the mulled wine, other drinks and food, the ice rink and the ice curling tracks. Great for meeting friends and enjoy the season.

Traditional german festive area with artisanal food stalls and ice arena for families.

Lovely place to visit in cologne especially during the Christmas season 😉

Delicious food and drinks .Nice skating ⛸️ Park

Wonderful places very close to Kölner Dom

Beautiful place with rich detailed history!

A superb Christmas market, one of the best ones I have been to in my life. There is a very wide selection of food and drinks, nice atmosphere with ice rink and decorated stalls. It gets very crowded on a weekend but still worth it

Mesmerizing and cheerful atmosphere! Do pay it a visit if you are in Köln. Try some classic food and wine and have a good time with your friends.
