Located in Germany, and bordering Belgium, it’s no surprise that there’s beer culture in Cologne. But it’s not just any beer, it’s Kölsch! Kölsch is a top-fermented, light beer thatcan only be brewed in Cologne Germany(and is rarely exported). So you definitely won’t be finding any Kölsch anywhere back home! On top of that there are very specific r...

It lends to their laissez-faire attitude and overall acceptance of everyone. So when you travel in Cologne, be sure to adopt them as well! Here they are: 1. It is, as ...
Everyone’s heard about Oktoberfest, but have you ever heard of Cologne Carnival? There’s no shame if you haven’t, I hadn’t either before I visited. But from what I learned during my short visit, Cologne Carnival seems like Oktoberfest on steroids… It lasts for MONTHS! It starts on November 11 (at 11:11 am) and goes until the end of March (see a lis...
Cologne Germany is known for its beer, Kölsch, but did you know they also had their own language… Kölsch? Now do you get it? Kölsch (the language) is a dialectof German, but if you say that to any local, they’ll deny it. Like everything else their city has to offer, Colognians are very proud of their language. But now the only question left is whic...
There’s no doubt about it, Cologners love their city. If you ask any one of them they’ll tell you how beautiful it is… even though it really isn’t (shhh! Don’t tell them!). I don’t want to insult anyone, but 90% of the city was destroyed during WWII. Only 1 out of 10 buildings were left standing by the end of the war. As a result, the city is a mis...
I know I said that I admire a lot about Cologne Germany, but I think at the top is their hunger for success. I’m talking about the city’s love for having world records… and they really don’t like it when someone takes any away from them. For example, the famous Cologne Cathedral used to have the world record for being the tallest church in Europe. ...
Cologne’s work ethic should inspire how the rest of the world works… No seriously! Colognians have the mentality to get the job done while doing the leastamount of work possible. And this mentality has been passed down from generations! But it’s not about being lazy. It’s about finding the most efficient way to nothave to do any work. For example y...
Not only does Cologne Germany have the ultimate work mentality, but they also know how to use it to capitalize on profits. For centuries they’ve known their way around the most important business venture of all – tourism. Back in the day (like wayback in the day) it was common for visitors to bring back bones of deceased royals, saints, and nobleme...
I mean goats are amazing, but Cologne Germany’s love of goats takes it to a whole other level. Their obsession started in 1950when a circus goat was gifted to the soccer team (1. FC Köln). The rumour is that the goat actually pooped on the coach(Hennes Weisweiler), and that’s when people fell in love…. and where he got his name. Hennes the goat ins...
You absolutely have to visit Cologne Germany for their sense of humour alone. I’ve never had so much fun touring a city! I swear, Cologne has two bare-bottom statuesin its city centre, and one is on their town hall! You’ll notice the town hall has several important figures carved into it, like Aquafina (the settler of Cologne) and Farina, the inven...
Since 2008, thousands of locks have also been glittering on the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne: close together, like a metal body full of vows of love. A stroll across the bridge to the Deutz side of the river and back is worth your while — especially on sunny days — not only because of the love locks but also because of the fantastic ...
