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.
