Cologne

We recommend you to begin your day with a 1 hr cruise on the Rhine from where you can get a glimpse of Cologne from the water! This cruise offers you the opportunity to see the skyline of Cologne from the river Rhine. You will enjoy beautiful views of the city's most important sights, such as the famous Cathedral and the fairground, while a taped commentary will give you information about the attractions as you pass them by. The cruise lasts one hour and will first take you south, to the former fishing village of Rodenkirchen and then northwards to the fairground, where you can enjoy wonderful panoramic views of the city's shoreline from the river. You will then be returned to the old city centre where the tour ends.

You then have time to take a stroll downtown and explore the special brewpub tradition of Cologne, with the famous “Kolsch” beer, served in a unique glass. We recommend you visit the famous Cologne Cathedral, the vibrant old town and the numerous Romanesque churches and a visit to the Chocolate Museum which documents 3,000 years of chocolate making history.
