COLOGNE - FORMER ROMAN CAPITAL STRADDLING THE RHINE While its Cathedral alone would make Cologne ( Köln ) a '
must see destination , this bustling Rhenish city has so many facets that even a full day is hardly enough to do it justice . With its dozen Romanesque churches and numerous outstanding museums , the former Roman city has a historical heritage second to none in Germany . With so many treasures to enjoy ( to say nothing of the city ' s countless art galleries ) , it ' s fortunate that countless taverns , bars and cafés offer the perfect antidote to ' cultural indigestion . In fact , it ' s over a glass of the local beer , Kölsch , that one stands the best chance of discovering why the citizens of Cologne are renowned for their open - mindedness and affability . Indeed , it ' s the laidback yet cosmopolitan feel of the rebuilt Old City that provides the most lingering memory of a visit to this classic destination .

Cross from 976 , the marvelous carvings of the choir - stalls ( c . 1310 ) and some exceptional medieval stained glass . 2 . Hohenzollern Bridge : For great views of the Cathedral and Old City , walk over this pedestrian and railway bridge . Lovers traditionally attach a lock to the fencing here and then throw the key into the river below . 3 . Roman - Germanic Museum : The first of these offers stunning Roman exhibits centering on the vast Dionysus Mosaic ( 2nd century ) and funeral monument of Publicius . The neighboring Ludwig Museum has notable collections of 20th - century art . 4 . Old City ( Altstadt ) : During a protracted stroll through the narrow lanes and attractive squares of the Old City , don ' t forget to take a look at the Rathaus , Germany ' s oldest City Hall ( tower from 1414 : arcading from 1540 ) . 5 . Wallraf - Richartz Museum : This outstanding museum offers in depth coverage of European art from the Middle Ages to the 19th century . 6 . Church of St . Maria im Kapitol : Perhaps the loveliest of Cologne ' s dozen surviving Romanesque churches includes a wonderful carved wooden door and an atmospheric crypt . 7 . 4711 House : This is the place in Glockengasse ) to pick up the perfect souvenir in the form of eau de cologne , by far the city ' s best known product 8 . Chocolate Museum : Down by the river , this popular destination tells you all you could wish to know about sweet temptations .

THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT IN A NUTSHELL Once Julius Caesar had captured France ( Gaul ) , it was not long before Roman legionaries arrived on the left bank of the Rhine in about 50 BC . One of their first Rhineland settlements was Colonia , and they even built a first bridge over the river here in 310 AD . Cologne ' s riverside site ensured that its trading role continued to flourish after the Ro mans left , and it became an important city in Charlemagne ' s kingdom of the Franks . Its rise to international significance can be dated quite precisely : in 1164 , the relics of the Three Magi were brought to its cathedral , and the stream of pilgrims from then on led to an amazing influx of income . To provide an even more magnificent setting for this ' money - making machine , ' a new Cathedral was begun in 1248 ; at this time , no - one could have guessed that over six centuries would pass before its completion in 1880 . Cologne ' s prestige rose further when its University was opened in 1388 , and its political clout was emphasized when it became a Free Imperial City in 1475 . During the French Revo - lution , French troops occupied the city from 1794 until Napoleon ' s final expulsion in 1815 . For a time , Cologne came under the control of the Prussians , whose very different mentality led to ongoing friction . Un fortunately , Cologne ' s Old City and many of its monuments fell victim to heavy bombing in the Second World War

ENJOYING THE LOCAL CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE Being one of Germany ' s biggest cities , Cologne can boast an excel lent range of stores , including many curious and unusual specialty shops . So , while Hohe Strasse and Schildergasse have all the usual international outlets , top fashion is written large in Mittelstrasse . Another bastion of fashion is Ehrenstrasse . The DuMont - Carré on Breitenstrasse also has a good range of more specialized shops . Cologne is a treat for lovers of modern art , as over a hundred gal leries are based here . At some time during a visit , you will want to settle into a cozy tavern in the Altstadt . Good choices might be the Gaffel - Haus on the Alter Markt . Peters Brauhaus ( Mühlengasse ) with its rustic wood - paneling , and Zum Pfaffen on Heumarkt . The brew of choice here is freshly drawn Kölsch beer served in 0 . 2 - liter glasses . The best local dishes are plain and hearty . For example , Himmel und Ääd ( ' heaven and earth ' ) comprises fried blood sausage served with mashed potatoes and apple puree .
