Cologne, and Cologne in English and French, is a big city, active nightlife with many bars and restaurants, but also old, full of history, monuments and sites. Period famous Cologne carnival is a good enough time to visit the city.
From Cologne you can make a boat trip on the Rhine to Strasbourg, France. The picturesque area of the route lies between St. Goar and Rüdesheim (many castles, vineyards, etc..). There are a rail route from Frankfurt to Cologne passing through Loreley, Rhine
Valley and other scenic places.
Cologne offers more than history: whether it is street music on the Hohe Strasse or galas in modern opera, the paving from the set of paintings of cathedrals or old masterpieces Wallraf Richartz Museum, the annual music festival along inner ring road or carnival
in town, in Cologne all this combines into a vibrant work of art, a cosmopolitan metropolis with nearly one million inhabitants and that, despite the size, it apparently never lost his district.
