Cologne

Travel Guide & Travel Information
Hardly any other major German city conveys a similar attitude to life as the metropolis on the Rhine. In addition to the unique Gothic cathedral, you will discover numerous exhibitions and galleries worth seeing. The Roman-Germanic Museum gives you an interesting insight into Cologne's rich Roman heritage. For art lovers, a visit to the Museum Ludwig or the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum is worthwhile. The subsequent stroll through the old town will surely lead you to one of the typical breweries. Over a glass of Kölsch at the bar, you'll immediately strike up a conversation and feel like you belong. After a stay here, most tourists agree with the locals: Cologne is a feeling - not only at Carnival!
