In Cologne, there is something to be discovered around almost every street corner. The cathedral city has a history of over 2, years and offers great opportunities for leisure time activities: rambles or shopping excursions through the inner city are actually possible in all kinds of weather. And of course every visitor to Cologne must have seen the Cathedral from up close. In addition to this, there are alternatives for every taste: How about a visit to a museum, a peek behind the scenes of the German television channel WDR, a barbeque afternoon or a visit to the zoo?
The museum takes the visitor along on a journey through the 3, year old cultural history of chocolate. Visitors can actually experience the tropical climate in a walk-in tropical greenhouse.
Thehigh pointof the museum is the main attraction: the production. From two levels, visitors can see how bar chocolate, truffles and hollow figures are made. After this, you can nibble away at a chocolate well spring. Opening hours: daily from 10 a. January to March and November Monday closed.
Opening hours: April to January from 9 a. Extended opening hours during summer in the event of high visitor numbers. City tours for children with "touching" and "running around", such as "Roman tours". The tours are organised in the old city of Cologne. Cologne has a wide selection of cultural events, festivals and events, not to mention its nightlife, bars, pubs and discos.
Few other cities in Germany have a comparable range of entertainment on offer, which means that the real challenge is how much you can fit into one day or evening.
