Köln: A lively, cosmopolitan city, Köln is
famous for its magnificent Gothic cathedral
which took more than 600 years to
complete. Climb the south tower for a
splendid view of the bustling city centre with
its Romanesque churches and the
impressive Römisch-Germanisches Museum.
A visit to the Chocolate Museum with its
freshly-stocked chocolate fountain,
production line and shop is not to be
missed. Gain an insight into the history and
ever-changing face of sport at the
neighbouring German Sports and Olympic
Museum.
Bonn: Known as the “Gateway to the
Romantic Rhine”, Bonn is an attractive and
cultural city with an interesting history dating
back over 2000 years. The top class
museums of Bonn’s “Museum Mile” include
the distinctive Art and Exhibition Hall, the
House of the History of the Federal Republic
of Germany and the Museum of Modern
Art. A tour of the Beethoven House,
birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven, the
world famous composer, is a must-see
for all visitors to this inviting city.
Koblenz: Germany’s most beautiful “corner”. This 2000-year old town, situated in the picturesque landscape of the Rhine and Moselle is surrounded by four low mountain ranges. The view from the Ehrenbreitstein fortress high above the Rhine across the river down to “Deutsches Eck” with its re-erected equestrian statue
of Emperor William I, is spectacular. An abundance of cultural monuments and historic buildings together with pretty
lanes and bustling squares make Koblenz
a relaxed and friendly town to visit.
