Cologne advice

[driller]

Got a pass from home so booked a long weekend in cologne with a couple of mates.

Anyone for my advice for a good time?

lived around Cologne for 3 years, if you head for the cathedral in the centre everything is with in walking distance, bars restaurants & clubs, a nice place to have a wander and partake the local beer which is excellent, enjoy.

Not been for a while so can't recommend specific bars etc. but the local beer is good so just find yourself a bar you like and enjoy...

I went there last year and I remember an Irish bar we went into that was pretty good. But just go to the cathedral and walk around from there

Used to live one and half hours from there, decent city.

Got a chocolate factory there, I advise to miss this out!

Sex Panther. 60% of the time, it works every time.

The local beer is called Kölsch. Served with a big frothy head. Tasty as hell.

Go and see Gerhard Richter's stained glass window in the cathedral. It's my favourite piece of art. I can sit and gaze at it for ages. Pick up the leaflet which explains the thinking behind it and what it stands for; not only is it joy to look at it also stands for so many things I believe in and touches a few elements of my life. Wonderful.

Walk to the top of the Cathedral spire. By the time you have walked back down again you will be ready for a couple of litres of Kolsch.

Home of 'Can'.

Kölsch (the local brew) and currywürst are Köln's local specialities.

Lovely old city, I recommend it.

The El-De house Gestapo prison museum is worth a visit very moving
