Germany’s fourth-largest city is best known for one of the greatest churches in Christendom – Cologne Cathedral – and the 12 Romanesque churches in the Old Town. Cologne is also famous for its toilet water, Eau de Cologne. Don’t visit Cologne expecting a quaint storybook city. There are better places in Germany to tick that box. But don’t let that ...
1. Visit Cologne Cathedral
Cologne Cathedral defies superlatives. This UNESCO-listed Gothic masterpiece is the tallest twin-spired church in the world and one of Europe’s most popular tourist attractions. It owes its existence to the Three Wise Men. In the 12thCentury, the bones of the Three Kings were brought to Cologne from the conquered city of Milan. This drew pilgrims in their droves and attracted funding to build a cathedral magnificent enough to house the Magi’s mortal remains. Their bones are housed in a lavish...
2. Peek at the Roman mosaic at the Roman-Germanic Museum
Cologne was founded as a Roman settlement in 38 BC and became the colony of Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium in 50 AD. If you peer through the window of the Roman-Germanic Museum(Römisch-Germanisches Museum), you will be able to see evidence of Roman life in Cologne. A fine mosaic floor that was once in the dining room of a merchant depicts saucy scenes from the life of Dionysus. This would have been at the original Roman street level. At the time of updating this post (May 2024), the Roman...
3. Walk over Hohenzollern Bridge
Hohenzollern Bridge (Hohenzollernbrücke) may be the busiest railway bridge in the world – more than 1,200 trains daily – but that’s not why it is a tourist magnet. People visit this Cologne landmark for its classic Industrial Age design and love locks. Although love locks are a familiar sight in cities across the globe, I have never seen as many as there are on Hohenzollern Bridge. Couples inscribe their names and the date on a padlock, chain this to the bridge railing and chuck the key over...
Although you can easily visit Cologne’s main attractions in a day, for a more relaxed visit and to experience a lively Brauhausat night, I recommend spending at least one night in Cologne. For maximum convenience, stay in or close to the Old Town. Mid-range – Hotel Domstern I stayed in this affordable 3-star hotel in the Old Town. Cosy single rooms...
There are plenty of things for the solo traveller to do in Cologne, from exploring its cathedral and churches to trying the varieties of beer the city has to offer. Whilst it is a big city, its main sights are close to each other making it walkable. I had heard a few horror stories about Cologne in recent years but as a female solo traveller, much ...
