Dec 22, 2017 · From grand sights, a vibrant nightlife and the locals’ unswerving positive, tolerant and life-affirming mindset, here are 11 reasons why Cologne might be the coolest city in Germany.
- Marion Kutter
- Because it has a unique beer culture... If you thought Germany’s beer culture was all about oversized steins of frothy lager clinking together, think again.
- and a cool wine culture, too. Of course, it’s not all about beer in Cologne. The city also has a taste for wine – the nearby Middle Rhine Valley is home to some of Germany’s finest vineyards.
- Because of the cool grit and graffiti of Ehrenfeld. Lazy travel writers describe anywhere remotely hipster-ish as “The Dalston of…” these days, but the similarities between East London’s coolest neighbourhood and Ehrenfeld are too great to ignore.
- Because there’s a post-apocalyptic event space. Further out of town still, Jack in the Box is well worth the trek. If you get lost and end up traipsing through a post-apocalyptic scrapyard, you’re on the right track.
Cologne has a tight claim for being home to Germany’s biggest and best LGBTQ scene, what with its utterly spectacular carnival every February, and its Christopher Street Day which attracts more than half a million revellers to the city centre every July.
The top attractions and activities in Cologne include the breathtaking Cologne Cathedral, indulging in delicious chocolate at the Chocolate Museum, exploring the charming Altstadt (Old Town), taking a relaxing Rhine River cruise, shopping on Schildergasse, and going on the best tours available.

- Koelner Dom. With its remarkable twin-spire church, the Cologne Cathedral is Germany's most visited tourist attraction. Stand humbled in the nave surrounded by stained glass and vaulting ceilings, but know you won't be alone—around 20,000 people flock to the cathedral on a daily basis.
- Schokoladen Museum. Dig into the rich 5,000-year history of chocolate. Learn how a humble jungle pod is turned into everyone's favourite sweet treat.
- Museum Ludwig. Chocolatier and magnate Peter Ludwig gave his name to Cologne's most prominent collection of modern art. The renowned institution is home to the third largest collection of Picasso works in the world, following Paris and Barcelona.
- Herr Pimock. Fuel up at the classic but modern German bistro for a fresh flammkuchen (German pizza) or a hearty burger. The comfortably-priced eatery is a casual pit stop with commendable service.
Cologne is the fourth-largest city in Germany, and the largest on the Rhine River. Straddling the Rhine in Western Germany, it’s home to over a million people – so it’s no small town, but somehow visiting can feel a bit like you’re discovering a hidden gem.
