About Cologne

Cologne (Köln) is Germany's fourth largest city and the historic heart of the Rhineland — a 2,000-year-old Roman foundation whose magnificent Gothic cathedral, begun in 1248 and completed only in 1880, remains the most visited monument in Germany with six million annual visitors. The Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), its twin spires rising 157 metres above the Rhine and the main railway station, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary ambition and the defining landmark of the entire lower Rhine region. The city's Roman heritage is equally substantial — Cologne was founded as Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium in 50 CE and the Archaeological Zone beneath the city centre contains one of the most important Roman urban excavations in northern Europe.

Cologne's museum landscape is outstanding — the Museum Ludwig houses one of the world's finest collections of 20th-century art including the largest Picasso collection outside Spain, while the Wallraf-Richartz Museum covers medieval and Flemish masters, and the Romano-Germanic Museum displays the city's Roman heritage including the extraordinary Dionysus mosaic. The city's famous Karneval (carnival) — the most exuberant in Germany, with Weiberfastnacht and the Rose Monday parade attracting over a million visitors — is one of the great popular festivals of Europe. Cologne's brewing culture, centred on the local Kölsch beer served in small 0.2-litre glasses by Köbes (traditional waiters) in the brewpub taverns of the old town, is one of the city's most distinctive social traditions.

Important Transfer Information

Cathedral District Concentration: The Cologne Cathedral, Museum Ludwig, Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Romano-Germanic Museum and Cologne Philharmonie are all within a 5-minute walk of each other near the Rhine bank — one of the highest concentrations of world-class cultural institutions in any comparable urban area in Europe. A single day in this district rewards visitors enormously.

Cologne vs Düsseldorf Rivalry: Cologne and Düsseldorf are the great Rhine rivals — neighbouring cities with fierce civic pride and notably different characters. Cologne is older, more bohemian and working-class in spirit, with a strong carnival tradition; Düsseldorf is more fashion-conscious, affluent and international. Travelling between the two on a Rhine visit is very worthwhile.

Rhine Cruise Departure: Cologne is a major embarkation point for Rhine river cruises — both the classic Cologne–Rüdesheim day cruise through the Rhine Gorge and longer itineraries to Amsterdam and Basel. The cruise quay is on the Rhine promenade near the Hohenzollernbrücke.
