Rheinufer
Scenic spot
👍 Super schöner Ort in Köln um einfach nur zu schlendern oder zum spazieren gehen mit der Familie. Im Dunkeln wahrscheinlich nochmals was ganz anderes, aber das hebe ich mir für irgendwann auf. Eigentlich kommt man auch an einem Besuch des Rheinufer in Köln nicht dran vorbei. Sitzgelegenheiten könnten...

artothek Cologne
Museum
😠 Impossible employee who seems to be completely miscast for public relations and customer contact. I just wanted to find out more today, a greeting was not returned, instead we were cynically complimented out. I expect a different atmosphere, especially in the art sector.

Glockenspiel des Ratsturms
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The beautiful tower of the old town hall. The old town hall of Cologne is one of the most notable historical buildings in the city, being one of the oldest town halls in Germany, about 900 years old. The oldest part of the building, the Saalbau (Long Hall), dates back to 1330, and the late Gothic Ra...

Cologne View
Observation deck
👍👍 A good way up see the view of Cologne. The cost is €5 and you get to the top in a lift and then a few stairs. At the top is a clear wall with diagrams of what is ahead of you. You can see 360 degrees and there is no real time limit of how long you can stay.

Mariä Himmelfahrt
Catholic church
👍👍 Beautiful church. When the sun is shining a wonderful light falls on the blue window panes which gives a great atmosphere. The knife was also beautifully made. I didn't understand anything because they spoke in (Italian or Spanish), but it was a great atmosphere. The music that was played there was...

Petrusbrunnen
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The Petrusbrunnen should be photographed when visiting Cologne Cathedral. Cast images of the Pope are also not far away at the St. Peter's Fountain, the cathedral shop is opposite the fountain. Have fun at this point. Greetings from Bergisch. Greet from Germany near Cologne

Willi-Ostermann-Brunnen
Tourist attraction
👍 This memorial fountain was created as a memorial to Willi Ostermann, a German lyricist, composer and singer of carnival songs, sometimes about Cologne. There seems to be two memorials to Willi Ostermann. One which is rather nondescript by on the north side of the square and fallen into disrepair. Th...

👍👍 This sight was already impressive for me. The level shows the current status of the Rhine. This is how you realize that the river is really lacking a lot of water
