Cologne

The city on the Rhine, with its landmark Cologne Cathedral, cozy pubs, street musicians, street art and cafés, is as colorful as it is multicultural. As the city is a shopping metropolis, you will always find the right bargain. You can watch the hustle and bustle on the raised green strip between the pubs and the promenade. Simply get a Kölsch from the little kiosk and sit on the wall or drop into the grass. In the evening, the lively brewery culture showcases the Cologne way of life and Kölsch culture. You'll never be short of fun and good humor in the Old Town or the Belgian Quarter, and the annual carnival shows that the people of Cologne know how to party. And if the night is longer, you can chill out on the Poller Wiesen with its panoramic views or on the Zündorfer Groov, an idyllic peninsula. Thanks to this unique mix, there is something for everyone in Cologne.
