Cologne, en Allemagne, est une destination incontournable pour les amateurs de marchés de Noël.

With a private driver, you can comfortably visit other highlights, such as the Harbour Christmas Market on the Rhine, which offers a nautical twist, or the charming Angel’s Market at Neumarkt, known for its elegant decor and artisan stalls.
