A walking tour revolving around highlights, facts and stories
Discover the most exciting facets of Cologne’s past and present! This inspiring walk will take you on a journey through time: from Roman Colonia to medieval Cologne with its churches, guilds and merchants, through the times of war destruction and reconstruction to modern urban development and today’s Cologne – full of the unique Cologne lifestyle. A real highlight is Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
