About Cologne

Your road trip takes you from Amsterdam to Cologne, the fourth-largest city in Germany and the largest city in the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia. Regarded as one of the key inland ports of Europe, this city is Rhineland’s historical, cultural, and economic capital.

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
