Cologne

Cologne has been a city for two thousand years — founded by Rome, and still gathering around the twin spires of its cathedral, a UNESCO landmark that took over six centuries to finish and holds the shrine of the Three Kings. Twelve great Romanesque churches ring the old town, and the museum row by the river runs from Roman mosaics to Warhol. Then there is the other Cologne: the brewhouse city, where waiters keep bringing slender glasses of Kölsch until you put your coaster on top. History and good humor, in equal measure, right on the bank.

Where boats dock in Cologne

Three areas serve Cologne: the Rheinauhafen basin south of the center, the long left-bank sweep from the Altstadt north along the Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer, and the Kennedy-Ufer on the Deutz side opposite the cathedral.
