Uuups!

You can`t miss this work of art: A giant ice cone landed upside down on a big mall building at Neumarkt square / Cologne. The Neumarkt is an excellent shopping area, too.

A castle-like former patrician`s house - one of the few truly medieval buildings in the Old Town of Cologne.

Excursion bus, Cologne, Germany

If you feel tired from walking, you can take an excursion bus from Cathedral Square.
The bus will take you to the Rhein Embankment and to the Chocolate Museum and back.

We came down to the Old Town much later in the evening.

Apparantly I rode a pig.

Town houses

Don't miss the beautiful town houses (14th - 17th centuries) in and around the Old Market Square and the Martinsviertel district (historic centre).
