Bochum Christmas

Cologne Harbour Christmas Market

Dortmund's Christmas city is a popular destination for hundreds of thousands of visitors from the surrounding area and abroad every year. No wonder! After all, Hansaplatz is home to the largest Christmas tree in the world (made up of around 1,000 spruce trees) and numerous stalls offer everything your heart desires in the run-up to Christmas, from gift ideas, clothing, toys and decorations to delicious food and drink. These include mulled wine and beer, of course, as well as Westphalian grilled ham, crêpes, bratwurst and fruit skewers with chocolate. For some years now, the Christmas market in Dortmund has been called "Christmas City" - because the Christmas experience is not just limited to one area in the pedestrian zone, but extends over large parts of the city center.

The popular Kleve Christmas market in the heart of the city attracts visitors with its lovingly decorated stands, all kinds of tasty treats, a colorful music program and the smell of gingerbread and mulled wine.
