The cathedral is something every visitor, recently new resident and local has to see - from the inside and out.
I moved to Cologne a few years ago and everytime I walk close by the cathedral I am awed. Don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing it :) I'm not really religious, but there is somethin…

The Cologne Zoo is a great place to hang out in between all the overload of sightseeing. Its pretty big, with a really nice gardenlike atmosphere.

Normally I find chocolate museums rather disappointing. You see, I really quite like chocolate, so I somehow expect a chocolate museum to be equally delicious. Then you go in and you find the typical displays about chocolate history in South America, eating it with chilli and progress to milk chocol…

Beeing "jeck" and enjoying life - that's the aim of carnival. During these days cologne is one huge street party. The Carnival festival satisfies a uniquely human desire: namely that of assuming another identity at least once a year and just letting your hair down, or as the locals say "jeck sein". …

As the year draws to an end, an air of tranquillity envelops the city.

Cologne's gay scene is an integral and highly conspicuous section of the local population. As such Christopher Street Day is celebrated as an international festival for lesbians, gays and transvestites in the customary Cologne manner - almost like Carnival itself.
