Cologne (German: Köln) at the river Rhine is the 4th largest city in Germany (after Berlin, Hamburg and Munich). With The Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom) it is also a popular city with tourists.

We start our tour at the cathedral and have a peek inside. It’s a public holiday (Christi Himmelfahrt in May 2019). The central station is nearby so we check out the area around before we head to the shopping area.

From the pedestrian shopping street “Hohe Straße” we walk South to the old market square (Alter Markt) and East towards the River Rhine bank. People enjoy their day off there with some beer or wine.

We head further South to Gürzenichstraße and then West toward the Beglican Quarter and the Hahnen Gate (Hahnentor). With quieter streets as shops are closed the pubs and restaurants fill up even more for the final hours of the holiday.

Finally we head back to the Cologne Cathedral again, where we end this walk.
