Germany: Cologne
Areas in the city:
In a nutshell...
All roads in Cologne lead to its two-towered cathedral which reaches 157 metres into the sky and is visible from almost everywhere in the city. Construction took 632 years to finish, and it is one of the most celebrated architectural monuments in Germany today.
Cologne is distinguished from other German cities because of the 12 Roman churches that can be found within its medieval walls. From Gross St. Martin in the heart of the old town, to Ste. Maria, the largest of the Roman churches, built over the foundations of a Roman temple, St Gereon, surrounded by greenery and St Andreas, constructed on the ancient Roman wall.
Cologne wouldn’t have its reputation if it weren’t for the Rhine and the numerous romantic walks that tourists can take along its banks. While in the neighbourhood, take the opportunity to visit the irresistible chocolate museum and the German sports museum, both situated on the river banks.

BRASSERIE STUESSER
Three generations have worked hard to make this breweryand distillery a success since its opening in 1904. The decoration hasn't changed since its reconstruction following partial damage during WWII, a fact that gives regulars a sense that with a visit here, unlike any place else, they are travelling back to another era. The menu is original offering a different propostion each day (Mondays: lamb, Thursdays: sausage) and to aid digestion, the Stüssers Kräuterschnaps, or plant based Schnapps promise a long life!
