3 days in Cologne Itinerary

Though Cologne famously contains 12 Romanesque churches, the city's top prize remains its landmark Gothic cathedral.

Venture out of the city with trips to Deutsches Eck (German Corner) (in Koblenz), Phantasialand (in Bruhl) and Aachen Cathedral (in Aachen). There's still lots to do: admire the landmark architecture of Cologne Cathedral, don't miss a visit to Nuerburgring, take in the views from Hohenzollern Bridge, and see the interesting displays at Cologne Chocolate Museum.
