Going to checkout the Christmas Markets this year at Cologne, but having never been there before, I am looking for a place to stay.

Can anyone suggest the best place.

Thanks in advance.

3 van went with us last year and we stayed on the Aire, we booked in advance, have EHU and in lovely spot right next to river.

Walk down the lane and you are at the tram stop where you can catch one on a day ticket to all of the markets, 6 in total all free but one which is next to the river but cannot remember name right now.

Tram cost us I think 10euro for 5 travelling together all day.

Have a wonderful time, we did. Trying 3 new ones this year.

The Colonge Aire is great, booking is advised. We rolled up on Spec and a German guy moved his motorhome to make us a space. You can walk down the river into the centre if you wanted also.

It's not the best market German has to offer and because of its location all the english coach operators use it but it's a good first market.

Be sure to visit the one in Rudolph Platz - small and pretty.

We booked ahead too- found ourselves one of 85 (yes I counted-I know its's sad Laughing )

"Lovely spot by the river"? True that the Stellplatz is in theory by the river but when we were there all the riverside spots were taken up by long-termers-we were about 100 yards back.

Convenient for all the markets though

I'm very interested in going to the Cologne Christmas markets too. Can someone advise on the dates the markets are there, please.

I am intending going, if the dates are suitable, around 25th Nov.

You'll be fine, this years dates are 21/11 to 23/12.

Heres a location map of the 7 markets that might come in handy....

There is something on the German Aire site provided by TattyTony about "Umweltzone"

Is that something to do with low emissions zones?

If so, can anyone read German, and decifer what it is telling - is this inside the zone, and if not, what is the route in?

How is the Umweltzone defined, is it by emissions, Euro (no) compliance, age of vehicle..... anyone know?
