⚓Discover Cologne, an art of living: overview of the city

Cologne in a nutshell

Cologne is a city where life is good. The Colonais evolve in the middle of buildings dating back more than two millennia. Rich in Roman and medieval remains, it owes its nickname "Rome of the North" to the large number of churches that dot its various quarters.

The "Cologne"

During your stay in Cologne, you will quickly experience the three meanings of the famous Colony “Kölsch”:

both local beer that you will not fail to discover during your outings;
patois in which we could answer you when you ask for directions;
and finally the art of living typical of its inhabitants who pride themselves on a quality of life that all of Germany envies them.

The unmissable cathedral

Cologne is a medium-sized city and therefore ideal for exploring on foot or by bike. For sleeping, the cathedral district is ideal because it is the nerve center of the city and you will have no trouble finding accommodation there.

Likewise, many shops are located in the vicinity of this masterpiece of Gothic architecture classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and will be perfect for a shopping spree.
