On top of that there are very specific r...

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.

Cologne Germany is known for its beer, Kölsch, but did you know they also had their own language… Kölsch? Now do you get it?

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 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!

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.
