Description
Explore Cologne with a passionate Italian professional guide and discover the rich history of the metropolis on the Rhine.
In the Classic Tours we visit the places that have been the focus of Cologne's 2000 years of history: starting at the cathedral square, we will discover the Roman origins of the ancient colony.
Looking up, you will be enchanted by the dizzying height of Cologne Cathedral,
the last Gothic cathedral. Strolling through the squares and alleys of the old town, we will step back in time to the Middle Ages, to the time of the archbishop and the free city of merchants, whose pride is imprinted in the splendid town hall tower.
Along the Rhine River, past historic breweries, we will discover Cologne's most colourful houses and then dive into the city's most famous water, a perfume that will surprise you!
With historical images you will see with your own eyes the difference between past and present, the wounds of the Second World War and in the Opera and Kolumba districts the effort of reconstruction, post-war memory and the developments of the modern metropolis.
The itinerary includes the following sights and monuments: Roman Arch, Cathedral, Town Hall, Alter Markt, Groß Sankt Martin, Fischmarkt, Rhine promenade, Salzgasse, Heumarkt, Eau de Cologne Farina, Kolumba, Opera, Eau de Cologne 4711 and Wallrafplatz
