City tour to the highlights - In German

Discover Cologne's fascinating 2000-year history! See where the Romans once celebrated and where the people of Cologne now emulate them. Find out why we absolutely wanted an XXL cathedral and why a crane was the city's landmark for a long time. We will tell you about destruction and reconstruction, about the right and wrong sides of the Rhine, about old market squares and new lighthouse projects.

Attention: Only in German
