Cologne_The hidden German_Treasure
We visited Cologne in Germany as a one day trip and marvelled at the city sights.It is one architectural beauty with its high semi gothic structures and but also a fun place to spend time with its chocolate museum with history on cocoa and types of chocolates. It was a great experience to climb the steps of Cologne Cathedral and to see the scenic view of the city with Rhein river crisscrossing the cityscape.Truly mesmerizing in the evening. Will get a place in my treasured memories for sure.

The other side of Cologne
#celebratewithtrip
Cologne is a city in Germany which is located in the Rhein-Main region and is about 2 hours ride by bullet trains (ICE inter city express) from Frankfurt.
Going there in the autumn season has also its special charm.
The city has a lot of attractions aside from its medieval structures (e.g. Kölner Dom or Cologne Cathedral), roman ruins, museums, food specialties, shopping street and the nice view of the river Rhein which I loved.
Cologne (Köln) has the biggest Carnival celebration in the whole Germany and also its marvelous Christmas Market.

Fascinating Cathedral
#celebratewithtrip
Köln Dom or Cologne Cathedral is one of the most beautiful cathedrals that I saw in my travels in Europe. The gothic style cathedral is amazingly beautiful and it is worth it to see and visit the place!
We went there from Frankfurt by ICE (Inter City Express, german bullet trains). It was about 2 hours train ride. We bought the the 2nd class ticket and it has no big difference with the 1st class ticket in terms of comfortability. The ride was quiet and relaxing!
You can get a cheaper price and a better time departure if you book your ticket ahead of time, about 3-5 months in advance.

Fischmarkt
It's not the fish market anymore. It is one of the few remaining parts of Cologne dated back the Middle Ages not far from the beautiful Romanesque St. Martin Church. There are many interesting and colourful old town houses date back to between the 14th and 17th Centuries.
Really beautiful part of town. Very colourful indeed. A nice area to have a walk by the Rhine and many coffee shops and restaurants are there. It’s peaceful and quiet and wonderful architecture! I love it!!!
Great place to get good food, ice cream and beer.

Excellent Food @Restaurant Great Wall Cologne
This restaurant serves Sichuan, Hunan & other Chinese regional dishes. If you are looking for authentic sichuan food in Cologne this is the ideal place. Located within short walking distance from the Dom. The food was very delicious and the staff very courteous. We had the tofu with century eggs and stir-fry mushroom with pork. We choose less spicy dishes and it’s really tasty. Very large serving and the price is reasonable.
Loved the food
Loved the service
Loved the ambience
Highly recommended.
A warning: spicy dishes are properly spicy

Authentic Chinese food @Tang Wang Cologne
The restaurant environment is very good, and the location is spacious (right beside the station) . Although it's called Tang Wang, the menu focuses on Sichuan cuisine.
We have craving for soup so we stopped by for our dinner. The food is delicious! The service is good. Its clean. They have various options for vegetarians and vegans.
A good choice if you want to eat quality Chinese food close to the station. Always worth a visit!

Funkhaus Cafe-Bar-Restaurant
A classy place to have breakfast. It located at Wallrafpl. 5, 50667 Köln, Germany.Very close to the central station and the Köln dome.
We tried the breakfast. Very tasty and delicate but filling. Love the coffee very much.
It offers seating both inside and out and no reservation was required.
Great location, very good service, friendly waiters, and very clean inside.

1st visit to Cologne - URBAN LOFT
We really had a great experience at this hotel establishment. It is centrally located that has easy access to the trains, cathedral, shops, food, supermarkets, literally everything you want & need from a hotel. The rooms were comfortable.
The big lobby was an awesome place to just hang out before the start of the day and at the end of the night. This is because there is an endless supply of free coffee and water. There is additional €16 for the breakfast box if you required.
The hotel is centrally located, approximately 500 meters from Cologne Railway station. We have late check out @2pm on the last day before we heading back to Frankfurt. Highly recommend staying here!

Fassbender Cologne
Wonderful cafe to eat cakes here. The atmosphere is really good, vintage and elegant. The staff is very friendly, kind and hospitality. It is a nice place to come for an afternoon bite with some tea. My husband had a local beer and we ordered 2 slices of cakes. The cakes are super good and the pastries and cakes display is amazing.

Amazing Cologne Cathedral
Truly a magnificent piece of architecture, my first impressive view exit from train main station (hbf). It’s huge.
There's no entrance fee. The inside has tall, well decorated ceilings. I loved the stained glass windows they were very beautiful.
The tower climb is not too arduous, but you do have to climb 533 steps. There is a combo-ticket available for treasury and tower climb, would recommend it. For single ticket it is €6 per pax. Once at the top the views are incredible.
I will sum the view with one word, breathtaking. Definitely a must visit for Cologne (Köln)

Love Locks @ Hohenzollern Bridge
The Hohenzollern Bridge is a bridge crossing the river Rhine in the German city of Cologne (German: Köln). It crosses the Rhine at kilometre 688.5. Originally, the bridge was both a railway and road bridge. However, after its destruction in 1945 and its subsequent reconstruction, it was only accessible to rail and pedestrian traffic. Since 2008 padlocks have adorned a fence on the bridge, see all the locks symbolising undying love chained to the bridge. A must on your trip here. If you want to show your love buy a pad lock and lock it to one of the fences on the bridge.

Never enough from 🇩🇪
Cologne Cathedral, German Kölner Dom, Roman Catholic cathedral church, located in the city of Cologne, Germany.
It is the largest Gothic church in northern Europe.
The view is amazing during the day, but during sunset and nights must go across the river! It's breathtaking.
Food is amazing, bars also. You will love it.

Hohenzollernbrucke - Lock Your Love Here
#createwithtrip to the bridge of love, Hohenzollernbrucke, iconic pedestrian and rail over Rhine River with thousands of padlocks left behind by people from near and far to symbolize locking their love together.
Badly damaged in 1945, the bridge was reconstructed and now it’s the most heavily used railway bridge in Germany. This bridge is easily accessible from Cologne Cathedral, a huge landmark in Cologne.
Placing padlocks started in summer 2008, in the last estimate in 2015, there are 500,000 locks. One can spend many mins looking at the different locks, spotting interesting ones. I saw one dated from 1960, even a baby pacifier, messages in Mandarin.

Europe’s Largest Gothic Church - Kolner Dom
#createwithtrip to Cologne to see the Europe’s largest Gothic Church, with world’s tallest twin spired church and largest facade. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, it’s a very popular sight. make sure you go early to avoid the crowd.
Construction started in 1248 but did not finish until 1880.
One of the most important treasure in the cathedral is the Shrine of the Three Kings, from 12th Century. It is traditionally believed to hold the remains of the Three Wise Men, whose relics were acquired by Frederick Barbarossa at the conquest of Milan in 1164. Also check out the dot matrix stained glass window.
Do allocate at least an hour as there are a lot of things to discover inside the church.

#cologne #awesomepic #germany
cologne is all walkable and breathtaking! Fascinated how they preserve the cathedral, the interior is superb. Cologne old buildings are well-kept too. The old town is interesting. Food and beer are amazing too! Regret of just spending one night here… recommended to spend at least 3 days 2 nights here to fully enjoy the beautiful Cologne.
Beautiful Hills Of Germany
I was travelling around Germany hopping from train to train, the scenery was beautiful! I wanted to share some of Germany with the rest of you guys on here. I went from Cologne to stuttgart to Munich to Berlin etc and it was one of my favourite experiences. It was the first time I went travelling on my own, and now I’ve already booked again and I can’t wait to see the rest of the world! ❤️#mountainview #cologne #germany #mytripvlog #trainride #city
