Walk at the Rhine
The Rheinauhafen of Cologne is located in the city center. The well-known Cologne Old Town is connected to the modern and popular Cologne Südstadt through the Rheinauhafen. The Rheinauhafen stands for a new and modern architecture, but at the same time also for a combination of old and new. A certain flair of luxury surrounds this section of the Rhine. Not only can you live and eat dearly there, but you can also go to work there or enjoy the art and culture in Cologne.
Off to the Siebengebirge
Just stroll along this popular mile from "Kap am Südkai" in the direction of the Siebengebirge. But what is the Siebengebirge? Well, that's what the old warehouse buildings are called, which have now been converted into modern luxury apartments. We continue to walk past the Bayenturm, the old port authority, in the direction of the marina. Now we are virtually three huge crane houses. Thanks to their modern and unusual construction, the three giants have developed into another attraction in Cologne.
The German Sports and Olympic Museum
The German Sports and Olympic Museum and the popular Chocolate Museum are also close to the Kranhäuser. At the Chocolate Museum there is also a beautiful harbor Christmas market every year. Incidentally, there is also an open-air cinema in summer. We continue along the Rhine through the Frankenwerft in the direction of Cologne's old town.
There you will find the Philharmonie and the Museum Ludwig. Now you have already reached the Hohenzollern Bridge, which has another big attraction in Cologne for you. These are the so-called love locks. These are attached to the bridge by couples as a symbol of their infinite love. The keys are of course thrown into the Rhine so that the lock can never be opened again.
Welcome to Düx
Now we're going to the right bank of the Rhine in the beautiful Deutz . We see the wonderful Rheinboulevard and the unique CologneTriangle. You get the best view of the cathedral city when you take the elevator to the viewing platform on the roof of the building. Get a 360 ° view over the city of Cologne! This look is definitely worth it and costs only € 3 per person. If you have got thirsty from the walk, then just stroll to the “Deutzer Freiheit” and settle in a brewery or buy a drink in the supermarket.
In the wonderful Rheinpark
Strengthened and full of energy, you then immediately continue past the Tanzbrunnen towards the Rheinpark . A federal horticultural show took place there in 1957. This is why this park is particularly beautifully laid out and particularly popular with the citizens of Cologne. When you walk through the entire Rheinpark, when you can see the Kölner Seilbahn from afar. You could then use this to cross the Rhine and get another fantastic view of Cologne's old town. The cable car stops directly in Niehl at the Cologne Zoo, which you can also visit. We hope you enjoy this wonderful tour through the city of Cologne.
