With its star-shaped layout, a towering Christmas tree in the centre, and a rich programme of entertainment, the Germany Cologne Christmas market rightfully ranks among the most beautiful in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Christmas markets in Cologne also have a long and fascinating history, dating back to 1820, when the traditional Nikolaimarkt was first held. This Advent market quickly won the hearts of visitors and became a firm fixture of the festive season. However, after several decades, the markets were temporarily banned due to their size and noise. The tradition was revived in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;
