Proceed to Cologne’s Old Town, where a stop at one of its renowned breweries, such as Peters Brauhaus, offers the opportunity to savor one of Cologne’s delights: Kölsch beer (at your own expense, as the drink is not included). Wander through the narrow alleyways and capture photos of the vibrant and traditional houses.
Arrive at the Alter Markt, historically a site for executions during the Middle Ages. With some luck, you might experience the lively weekly market. Continue to Heumarkt, once a hub for trading cheese, meat, and salt. Today, both areas are bustling attractions for tourists and locals alike, filled with restaurants and cafés.
Visit the City Hall, Germany’s oldest city hall, showcasing a blend of architectural styles, including a Gothic tower and a Renaissance-style loggia and cloister. It stands as a quintessential building of the Renaissance era. Adjacent to the Town Hall, explore the Archaeological zone of the Jewish Quarter. Discover the rich history of the Jewish community in Köln and the 17-meter-deep shaft of the Mikveh, the Jewish ritual bath, excavated in the area. Remarkably, the Rhine’s water level can still be observed at the bottom of the Mikveh.
The final stop is the Romanesque Catholic church of Great Saint Martin. With its foundation dating back to around 960 AD and recently restored after destruction during World War II, it remains a highlight of the Old Town.
