River Rhine Experience

The city’s location along the Rhine offers scenic cruises, waterside promenades, and bustling markets. It’s the perfect starting point for exploring picturesque river landscapes and nearby castles.

Our Favorite Things To Do

  • Visit Cologne Cathedral: Step inside this soaring Gothic landmark, then climb the tower for panoramic views over the river, bridges, and red-roofed old town.
  • Stroll the Old Town: Wander cobbled lanes and colorful townhouses, pausing in small squares and riverside promenades that buzz with cafés and street life.
  • Walk across Hohenzollern Bridge: Cross the iron arches as trains rumble by and the cathedral lights up behind you, with thousands of love locks glinting along the railings.
  • Enjoy a Kölsch in a traditional brewery: Slide into a wooden table as servers circulate with tall, slender glasses of the city’s signature beer, swapping stories with locals and travelers.
  • Explore the Chocolate Museum: Learn how cacao becomes chocolate, watch the production line in action, and sample treats with Rhine views just outside.
