Germany: Cologne
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.

- Beat Poets, Hippies, Funk und Minimal Art : Kunst und Counterculture in San Francisco um 1968 - From Saturday, November 8 2008 to Sunday, March 1 2009
Breaking the mold.
The year is 1968. San Fransisco students tire of the political situation in their country. The Vietnam War is dragging on... and on.
The 60s generation found only one way to express their discord, to revolt at an intellectual level: separate themselves from everything that was thought to define American culture.
The hippie movement was thus born, later known as a "counter-culture" movement. This break with a work-obsessed post-war society spawned a viral change in mentalities, an explosive intellectual shift in all artistic fields: literature, music, cinema, etc.
