No city can and should be divided from its history - taking a look at Cologne, the roots can be found almost 2000 years ago when Cologne was still in the hands of the Romans and called "Colonia Claudia Ara Aggrippinensium", making it one of the oldest cities in Germany.
On 18th July 2020, the "Kölner Lichter" light up the sky in flames. The impressive firework display is synchronised with music and transforms the view of the Rhine into a colourful sea of banyan lights, waterfalls and hundreds of thousands of sparklers.
Now in its 10th year, the Christmas market in the Stadtgarten continues to exude charm, attracting both locals and visitors alike. Slap bang in the middle of the hip Belgian Quarter, it has a romantic, village-like feel to it.
Here you find 11 nice subjects to know and to visit at the city - "11" because it's the number of the city: 11th Novembre at 11 past 11 the carnival begins. Cologne people associate this number with their city.
