Overview

Are you visiting our city during the most wonderful time of the year? Be sure to join our Cologne Christmas Lights bike tour – the perfect activity during this joyful season.

Cologne hosts the most beautiful X-mas markets in Europe and thus makes the Christmas season the most festive time of the year. Many decorated stalls appear all over the city, offering local delicacies and gadgets, and the beautiful landmarks light up, turning the city into a cozy Christmas wonderland.

On this guided bike tour you enjoy a combination of classic sightseeing and visit different Christmas markets. Our knowledgeable local guides share some of their favorite German holiday traditions and know where to find unique handcrafted toys and Christmas souvenirs. Of course there is also enough time to try some traditional foods or a typical mulled wine or freshly brewed cocoa.
Cologne at Christmas time has its own unique charm!
