The tourist office
by kayzee
I think the best thing I've done during my short visit to Koln is going to the tourist information desk.
Everyone in the tourist information dek could speak english very well and one of the girls did help me a lot by explaning whats there to see in Koln and gave me map with instructions on how to visit all the importnt locations.
I did not follow the instructions exactly but that gave an idea where I should go next.
The tourist information desk in just in front of DOM (the cathedral) if you come to the front door of the cathedral and look across the road you can see the tourist information office a small place. but was very helpful Trying to deside what is the next Church that I have to visit. My god there is so much to choose from...
Floating Gym
by steventilly
One of the big Rhine Cruisers near the chocolate museum had its gym facing landside. When we were going up to the museum we saw a woman in there on a cycling machine, and she looked virtually dead. She was giving slow, laconic pedals, and had this really weary expression - not just on her face, but her whole body screamed "get me out of here".
When we returned over 1 hour later, she was still there, looking exactly the same. We started to suspect it was some punishment, or that she was actually a galley slave and had to do this to provide the power for the ship or something.
I know we shouldn't laugh, but oh how we did! Cycling Machine

Restaurant
by Leipzig about Gasthaus am Dom
I didn't ate here. I just sit inside to warm my frozen body on a cool Koelsch Beer :-D Although I was in Cologne in August it was pretty chilly and I didn't have warm clothes with me. As far as I remember the restaurant had a very rich menue card with German cuisine.
Cologne Cathedral
by aukahkay
Coming into Cologne by train, boat or bus, the most distinctive landmark which can be seen from afar is the Cologne Cathedral. Construction of the Gothic church began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, more than 600 years to complete and was finally finished in 1880. The two towers are 157m tall, the cathedral is 144m long and 86m wide. The cathedral is dedicated to Saints Peter and Mary. Cologne Cathedral remains the tallest Gothic structure in the world and is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne.
