Yes, we are now talking about the city that started the Xmas markets tradition all over Europe during the 15th Century with their traditional and decorated tree.

Cologne is definitely one of the best places to stay in the world during the Christmas season as the city is full of amazing Christmas markets selling delicious food, mulled wine and Germany’s very own Eierlikor. If you have the time and the means, I’d recommend spending the whole month here.
