It’s said that natives of Cologne who are living elsewhere, always feel homesick. Visitors to the city will soon understand why. Germany’s oldest metropolis, which, of course, gave its name to Eau de Cologne, offers a mix of magnificent and romantic churches, the latest in modern architecture, busy shopping streets and world-famous museums. And we haven’t even mentioned the carnival.
