The Place
Cologne, Germany
City introduction
A Gothic cathedral giant, Rhine promenades and Kölsch beer halls. Cologne revolves around its UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral — over six centuries in the building and Germany's most-visited landmark — and the Kölsch breweries where the small glasses keep coming until you cap them. The Rhine old town, Museum Ludwig's modern collection, and some of Germany's liveliest Christmas markets fill out the rest.
