Cologne

The cathedral city is located directly on the beautiful Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia and, with its culinary and cultural heritage, is one of the most important tourist destinations in Europe. Even from a distance, the important landmark and the most famous architectural monument, the Cologne Cathedral, catch the eye. On almost every street corner, you will discover traces that remind you of the city's more than 2000-year history and experience the Cologne lifestyle up close. A fascinating sight is offered on and from the Hohenzollern Bridge with the thousands and thousands of “love locks”.
