OVERVIEW
Discover the old town of Cologne, the historic alleys and its important sights. On their tour, the group will stroll along Cologne Cathedral - the city's landmark - a Roman Catholic church and one of the most visited sights in Germany.
The tour continues to the historic town hall, officially the oldest town hall in Germany. It is located right in the heart of the cathedral city. Since its early beginnings, the town hall complex has been known as “a house where the citizens come together”.
Particularly unique: the carillon, which can play 24 different melodies!
If you stroll through the old town, you can't avoid taking a photo of the colorful houses at the fish market. In medieval Cologne, a large trading center was built on the site where the Benedictine abbey once stood, primarily to provide traders with a transshipment point for their fish.
The colorful monuments were probably residential and trading houses. However, the narrow, lined-up houses are more likely to have been the homes of the wealthier merchants. Today, each of the houses shines in a different color and no two are really alike. Nevertheless, they form a unity and are definitely among the most photographed Cologne highlights.
On their tour through the center of Cologne, the group passes other memorable buildings before heading to the Rheinterrassen for lunch.
