Cologne (Köln) Christmas Markets
I think we saw 6 or 7 markets in Cologne and another in Aachen, which is about an hour train ride from Cologne. They each have a different look, and each market has their own unique mug for their various type of gluhwine (mulled wine). Most of the foods are the same though.
One exception was this guy with melting cheese. There were lots of other cheese options (we had a few) like raclette, which is usually a half round of cheese with the flat top melted onto bread. This guy was just doing it different (see the photo), probably with a different type of cheese. I didn’t try; one can only eat so much cheese and bread in a day.
My favorite market was the one with gnomes taking a chair lift up a roof, so I have a daytime and nighttime photo of that.
