Visiting Cologne
A Rhine-side city whose twin-spired cathedral has watched over it since the Middle Ages, rebuilt almost entirely after WWII. It has one of Germany's most relaxed, sociable drinking cultures, centred on its own local beer style.
Best time to visit: April to October for mild weather and long daylight hours.
Landmarks & highlights
- Cologne Cathedral
A UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral and one of the tallest twin-spired churches in the world.
- Altstadt
The reconstructed old town along the Rhine, dense with cafés and traditional Kölsch breweries.
- Rhine Promenade
A riverside path popular for walking and cycling with cathedral views.
- Museum Ludwig
A major modern art museum next to the cathedral, with a strong collection of Picasso and Pop Art.
Local tip: Kölsch beer is traditionally served in small 0.2-litre glasses — expect your waiter to keep bringing fresh ones until you say stop.
Getting around: Cologne's centre is walkable along the Rhine, with an efficient tram and light-rail network covering the rest of the city.
Good to know: Cologne Cathedral's exterior stonework is a mix of original medieval sections and later 19th- and 20th-century completion work — construction actually took over 600 years.
