Things to see an do in Cologne

Cologne is a interesting and welcoming place, and a good city for car drivers. Cologne is a city bisected by the mighty Rhine river as it flows across Europe. The sight of this natural wonder is best appreciated over a coffee in one of the many riverside bar-cafes. The city is thought to have been founded in the Roman period, and for visitors interested in history a trip to see the cathedral is highly recommended, similarly there are a vast number of local museums to enjoy. In order to properly appreciate the area around Cologne, travellers should arrange a car rental and then drive into out through countryside of northern Germany, the views are appealing and the close proximity of France and the Netherlands gives the area a particularly cosmopolitan feel.
