Local characters, anecdotes and specialities

The ‘Cologne is a feeling’ tour of the historic city centre conveys in a differentiated and profound way why Cologne is much more than its well-known clichés. Between historic squares, alleyways and buildings in the old city centre, participants gain a discursive insight into the authentic lifestyle of the Rhine metropolis. Here, the familiar meets the less obvious: beyond the popular portrayal of Tünnes and Schäl and the controversially discussed phenomenon of Kölscher Klüngel, a deeper picture of a city characterised by lived diversity and genuine togetherness is revealed. The focus is on stories and anecdotes that are both critical and humorous, conveying a multi-layered impression of the Cologne mentality, local everyday culture and traditional songs.

This walking tour through the historic city centre reveals facets that go far beyond folklore and touches on social issues in a way that is as empathetic as it is sophisticated. Cologne reveals itself here not only as a historical meeting place, but also as a place of a special kind of coexistence - cosmopolitan, convivial and imbued with an independent regional identity.

Duration of the tour: 90 minutes
