Cologne Old Town, Hidden Corners and Local Stories

Our tour walks past the great sites of the city - the ones everyone knows and loves - and then takes a few turns onto lesser-known streets. Along the way, you will find hidden Roman archaeological remains, breathtaking historical monuments, and even some of the most popular local bakeries and beer halls. To the untrained eye, Cologne is a busy, fun, modern city. But on this walk, we focus on the small architectural details that hide fascinating stories of war, competition between cities, religion, and customs. I will also make sure you do not leave the tour without seeing some of the coolest postmodern art installations - the kind of installations that some people only see in university books or on the news. During our time together, I like to build a small community. After all, we have lots in common: we are new to the city, excited, and eager to see, learn, and have fun. I am looking forward to swapping travel stories and a joke or two.
