A Quick Guide to Cologne
Cologne is big; it’s Germany’s fourth largest city. But if you have a hire car it’s easy to get around, thanks to a motorway ring road and an efficient network that includes a series of bridges so you can drive across the Rhine.
Beneath the twin spires
Cologne’s enormous gothic cathedral is the distinctive landmark of the city. The twin-spired Catholic Church was once a major destination for pilgrims due to its shrine that is said to contain the remains of the Three Kings who visited Jesus after his birth.
Now a World Heritage Site, it has once again become one of Germany’s most visited buildings, thanks to tourism. First gaze up at the enormous façade – it’s the biggest of any cathedral in the world. Then step inside; it’s so large that there’s room for 20,000 people.
Just slightly taller
Today the cathedral is Cologne’s second-tallest structure, surpassed in 1981 by the city’s 873-foot telecommunications tower. Both structures dominate the skyline.
The TV tower, known locally as Colonius, is currently closed to visitors so if you’re after spectacular views of the city and river try the new Cologne Cable Car instead. This exciting gondola ride carries you high across the Rhine from the Rheinpark to the city zoo.
The art of the matter
With more than 100 different galleries to browse, there’s more than enough art to inspire any visitor to Cologne. The Ludwig Museum has a fantastic collection of Picassos, while the Schnutgen Museum showcases medieval religious art.
Look out too for the Roman-Germanic Museum, a striking modern building offering a well-presented view of life during the Roman occupation of Cologne.
Bonn voyage
If you have a hire car in Cologne you’ll be able to drive down to the neighbouring riverside city of Bonn, just 20 miles south. The capital city of the former West Germany, it’s full of mansions and important landmarks including the birthplace of Beethoven, which is now a museum.
Bonn Minster may not be as big as Cologne’s huge cathedral but is still worth visiting - the grey stone basilica being one of the country’s oldest churches.
Sail away
Some of the most popular excursions from Cologne involve the River Rhine. You’ll find a wide choice of cruises that include visits to vineyards, castles and churches along the river.
Cruise to the family-friendly Konigswinter Sea Life Aquarium or to the Drachenfels, a hill known as ‘Dragon’s Rock’ that was formed from the remnants of a volcano. Here you can take the cog railway to a castle overlooking the river.
