Activity itinerary

Heumarkt
  • 10m
Welcome to the beating heart of Cologne! Here, past and present dance together among bustling cafés, historic bars, and buildings that could spill a thousand stories. This square has witnessed festivals and markets for centuries—if only these walls could talk, we’d have some juicy gossip!
Tunnes und Schal
  • 10m
Meet Cologne’s local celebrities: Tünnes and Schäl, two beloved characters with their own statues. They perfectly capture the city’s cheeky humor and lively spirit. Get ready to laugh and see why these two are the soul of Cologne’s fun side!
Great St. Martin Church
  • 10m
Prepare to be wowed by this massive Romanesque church that looks like it stepped out of a medieval fairy tale. Its four towering spires watch over the city like silent guardians, and the peaceful vibe inside offers a perfect break from your urban adventure.
Tierbrunnen
  • 20m
Who said fountains can’t be art? Tierbrunnen not only refreshes the air but is a sculptural celebration of local wildlife with serious style. It’s a perfect spot to pause, snap a photo, and maybe drop a philosophical line or two.
Old Market
  • 10m
If squares could talk, this one would tell the most stories. The Old Market is a colorful mosaic of historic houses, tempting local aromas, and laughter on every corner. Here, history comes alive—and invites you to be part of the story.
Historisches Archiv der Stadt Koln
  • 15m
Want to uncover Cologne’s deepest secrets? This historical archive is the vault holding treasures of time: documents, photos, and tales transporting you from ancient Rome to today. A must-visit for the curious at heart.
Teilstuck romischer Abwasserkanals
  • 15m
Time travel guaranteed! This piece of Roman sewer is proof that ancient folks had more smarts than many today. While we’re busy making memes, they were engineering super-advanced systems... Rome wasn’t built in a day, but their sewers sure were a masterpiece!
Museum Ludwig
  • 15m
Modern art, anyone? Museum Ludwig is where great geniuses like Picasso, Warhol, and Lichtenstein await to show you that art knows no limits. Get ready to be inspired, puzzled, and amazed—all in one visit.
Cologne Cathedral
  • 15m
And to top it all off: the majestic Cologne Cathedral. More than a church, it’s a Gothic giant that leaves everyone breathless. Its stained glass tells stories in colors, and if you dare climb its towers, you’ll get a view that makes you feel on top of the world. No wonder it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and Cologne’s pride.
