Culture and Pleasure
Cologne harbours one of the most treasured historic quarters in Germany. Established by the Romans on the banks of the Rhine before being conquered by the Francs, Cologne today retains an evocatively medieval atmosphere. The twelve Roman churches in Cologne city centre illustrate the city's exceptional historic and artistic heritage. The city's primary treasure among these is its Cathedral, the third largest church in the world.
Cologne's museums will astonish you, both for their legacy and for their magnificent displays. The Ludwig Museum houses an outstanding collection of modern art, while the Wallraf-Richartz Museum is one of the most important art galleries in Germany. Even food lovers have a museum to call their own: the Imhoff-Stollwerck Museum of Chocolate, while those interested in the fun side of life should consider a trip to the Cologne Carnival Museum.
The origins of the Carnival itself are lost in time, but its festive spirit is renewed every year on the 11th of November, continuing through to the end of February. The celebration reaches its high point on Carnival Monday, when horses, mummers and bands of musicians invade the streets of Cologne for the day. Festive Cologne
Among the other pleasures offered by Cologne are its famous Koelsch beer and a full calendar of events to drink it at, from international fairs to mass festivals. The Köln Arena is the largest fairground in Germany and the Theater am Tanzbrunnen boasts a magical setting on the banks of the Rhine.
NH offers you two hotels in Cologne, located in front of the Museum of Chocolate, where the new Rheinauhafen business district begins, and next to the Cologne Tower, just minutes away from the city's hotspots for fine dining and provocative nightlife.
