      Highlights

      • Enjoy a morning pretzel from local bakery.
      • Take in the 2,000-year-old Gothic Cathedral.
      • Photograph the epic views from Cologne's cable car.
      • Add a love padlock to the Hohenzollern Bridge.
      This 2,000-year-old city exudes high Gothic vibes, and nowhere does this stand out more than at the amazing Cologne Cathedral. After admiring this man-made beauty, take in the natural wonders at the botanical garden. It's where you'll find the only palm trees in Germany.
      In the afternoon, feast on the regional specialities and schnitzel, add your love padlock to the Hohenzollern Bridge, and then see the rest of the city from on high via the Cologne gondola cable car. Then indulge in a sweet treat from the much-loved ice cream store before heading back.

      Pretzels, Gondolas, and Gothic Vibes

      It is an easy day trip with plenty of time to see its top attractions along with its lesser-known gems. You get to Cologne early enough to enjoy a freshly baked morning pretzel from the local bakery, before soaking in the Gothic ambience of the city's cathedral.
      In the afternoon, take in some hearty local fare at a brewery, leave a love padlock on Hohenzollern Bridge, and see the city from its best angle before heading back with a sweet treat in tow.
