Cologne Local Guide

Sights

The Cologne Cathedral

A must see for every Cologne visit! Not only from the outside, but also the inside astonishes with its gothic architecture. Going inside is free!

The Cologne Triangle

This over 100m high observation deck presents you with a stunning view over Cologne, and on clear days you can even see Düsseldorf! For students, the entry fee is only 4€. Right next to the skyscraper are the Rheintreppen, which invite you to sit at the Rhine river and enjoy the view on the Cologne Old Town.

The Crane Buildings

Situated directly at the Rhine river are these three buildings with their peculiar architecture. Here, you can walk along the river or visit the Chocolate Museum.

Cologne Old Town and Heumarkt

The narrow streets highlight Cologne’s medieval charme. Here you can find a lot of traditional Cologne breweries, which still produce their own Kölsch beer and where you can eat traditional Cologne cuisine.
