3Cologne, Germany
Cologne is the 4th largest city in Germany and the largest city in both the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia and within the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Area.
The city has one of the oldest bars in the world, established in 1318, the Brauhas Sion. Enjoying a beer in one of the world’s oldest bars sounds good?
Also, as we said before, Cologne has some of the best Christmas markets in Europe. Every year, the city centre of Cologne brings the spirit of the season out in everyone.
When the Christmas markets open their gates on the last Monday, before Advent, millions of tourists rush to grab a bite from the goods on sale.
At the Heimat der Heinzel tourists will find a spectacular skating rink and, for a more idyllic setting, you should visit the Christmas market in the Stadgarten, where unusual crafts are sold. Enjoy your staying!
