| Cologne,
Germany |
| Köln (spelled Cologne in English) is an interesting
and lively city, the fourth largest in Germany. This
cosmopolitan city is home to more than a million inhabitants.
Köln has a university town feeling with about 80,000
students, too. Just about everywhere you can see examples
of the cultural and historical treasures from the city’s
2,000 year history. For example, the city’s most
famous landmark is the Köln Cathedral with two
spires over 157 meters high. The view from the top is
worth the climb. Köln provides accessible transportation
within the city, country and throughout Europe with
more than 1,200 train arrivals per day in its main railway
station. Modern high-speed trains link Köln with
London, Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Berlin at hourly
intervals. |
