Each stop on this trip will also provide you with valuable insights into the culture and history of these two countries, making your drive both fun and educational, perfect for solo travelers and families.

The ancient Romans founded this German city. Since then, it has enjoyed a history spanning over two millennia. From its founding, it swiftly became a major trading hub because of its proximity to the Rhine River.

During the Middle Ages, Cologne flourished even further, becoming hailed as a significant religious center with the unveiling of the Cologne Cathedral during the 13th century. In 1709, the original cologne was created here, designed to smell like mountain daffodils, orange blossoms after the rain, and an Italian spring morning.

Cologne was an imperial city until France took over in 1794. In 1815, Prussia led Cologne to a new era of prosperity.

World War II caused Cologne extensive damage, but it gradually rebuilt itself, preserving its historical heritage while developing into a modern metropolis. Today, this resilient city is proud to show its beauty and culture to the rest of the world.

During your time in Cologne, you can explore its top attractions, which include the:

• Cologne Cathedral
• Museum Ludwig
• Lindt Chocolate Museum
• Cologne Zoological Garden
• Old Market
• Museum of Applied Art Cologne
• Flora und Botanischer Garten (Flora and Botanical Garden Cologne)
• Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud
• Hohenzollern Bridge

As you plan your trip between these two cities, consider the peak travel times to avoid traffic congestion and crowded trains. Generally, weekdays are less busy than weekends. Consider scheduling your trip during non-peak days. Likewise, secure all the important and necessary travel documents in an envelope or folder and keep them in your. If you prefer digital copies, keep them in a folder on your phone. You should also make sure these documents are updated. Remember, you’ll be visiting two countries, even though your passport won’t get stamped. So preparation is key. Third, learn to respect local customs and traditions. For instance, Germans value punctuality, so be sure to be on time, whether when riding trains or attending shows. Learn some basic German phrases so you can communicate with locals with ease, such as when you have questions about directions.

The cheapest direct flight is $206 (190 euros).
