The beautiful city of Cologne is located in North Rhine-Westphalia and is the fourth largest city in Germany. It is well-known for its stunning cathedral, which is a must-see attraction with stunning Gothic architecture dating back to 1248. Now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the cathedral was started in 1248 and not completed until 1880. With lots to see and do, from museums and parks, to incredible art galleries, renting a car in Cologne will make travelling across the city hassle free, allowing you to make the most of your trip.
If you're considering which museums to visit whilst in Cologne, the Roman-Germanic Museum gives a great insight into the city's history. The museum features artefacts dating back to Roman times, telling the story of how the city came to be. Equally, if you're looking for something a little more lively, the annual carnival in Cologne is one of the largest street festivals in Europe with a parade through the town, colourful costumes and bands playing. Whatever you're planning, car hire from Cologne gives you the option of exploring the city and wider region and with many towns like Bonn and Düsseldorf in close proximity, they are certainly worth a day out.
