One day in COLOGNE, GERMANY | Everything you need to see

On this walking tour of Cologne, Germany I show you all the highlights the city has to offer.

We start the tour at the Main Train Station in the Heart of the City. The main attraction, the Cologne Cathedral, is located right next to the train station. It’s Germany’s MOST VISITED LANDMARK. We’ll visit the inside of the main building, climb up the South Tower for some stunning views and go underneath the Cathedral to see the Treasury.

We’ll walk north along the Rhine River to the Rhein Seilbahn, a gondola that crosses the Rhine River, walk through the Rheinpark, head up to the observation deck of the Köln Triangle for views of the Cathedral from the other side of the river, cross over the Hohenzollernbridge, which is covered with over 500,000 love padlocks, stroll through the Rhine Garden with its colorful houses and restaurants, check out the Deutzer Bridge for the views, make our way to Deiters, a costuming store where I talk about the Karneval (Carnival) and ultimately end up at Früh - a traditional German brewhouse where I explain the beer etiquette of Colognians.

Hope you enjoy the tour! 😊

It's really helpful that you use both international & German place name pronunciations. It helps with familiarity but also with educating non- German speakers like me

My ancestors are from Cologne and it said, from the Schloss Berg/Burg Castle! Some of the older genealogist say we are from royalty. Since doing my genealogy I have found nothing has been proven! My maiden name is from Vonderburg, changed later to Funderburg and we have proof of their arrival at Philadelphia in 1738 from the ship “The Thistle”, leaving Rotterdam and stopping at Plymouth, England. But I tell people our ancestors could have just worked at this castle!
