Beauty of Cologne

Cologne (  Köln  ) is the fourth largest city in Germany, this city was a part of our road trip. Since we got in the city by car, we just parked our vehicle at Koln Mall parking.

 Tip1:There are quite a number of tourists in Cologne, better to bring map and read directions for a smooth travel.
Tip2: There are available walking tours to have a better understanding of the city's history.

For our travel we usually prepare our own itinerary, during our visit there we only want to see Cologne Cathedral and the famous River Rhine.

Tip3: Cologne Cathedral is located near train station, Koln Mall and the long stretch of more shopping malls.
 
Cologne Cathedral is breathtaking, I am captured by  it's beauty. The cathedral's architecture is of such beauty that a lot admires.
The city I can say is quite small, the weather is suitable for long walks around Cologne.

Tip4:  Try German bread like Berliner for snacks while walking around the city.

Tip5: Outdoor cafes are all over the place, a good spot to relax after shopping.

Tip6: Cross the bridge over River Rhine, for lovers you can leave a padlock with names engraved and locked it at the rails.
Tip7: For climbing enthusiasts, the wall  of the bridge in front of Hyatt Hotel is a good chance to take out your rapels and climb.

Tip8: I missed KFC and I was so glad to know that in Cologne we can munch KFC's fried chicken.
Tip9: Visit Rhine Park for a serene view of sunset,

 and a better  view of Cologne Cathedral.
