Question:

3 days around Cologne...?

am arriving in Frankfurt on 8/26 and 7 am by plane. I am leaving for the US on 8/29 at 1 pm. The time in between is completely free! I have no plans -- no car/train/bus reservations, no hotels, nothing. What should I do? Spending time in Frankfurt has been recommended as well as taking a train to Cologne. Any other general/specific ideas? It should not be too expensive and it should be closeby-- I don't want to spend a lot of time traveling.

  1. If you can do it - spend time in Cologne.  I was there for 12 days in July and cannot wait for my next trip there.  Good people, good food...rich in history.   Definitely spend time seeing the Dom.


  2. you can do cologne, and the rhine area in a day or 2

  3. I was there last June.  I'd def check out der Dom and maybe see a museum?  There's a music one, a chocolate one, and a sports one.  Just walking around and getting the feel of the city is nice.  I stayed in Bonn and loved it! The atmosphere was so different and amazing compared to the US.  Check it out.  Have a great time

  5. I was just in Cologne a few weeks ago....I recommend travel down to Koblenz (no letter 't') and taking a boat down the Rhine (from where it meets the Moselle). You will see numerous castles from the river, some of which you can hop off and take a tour of! Then visit some of the local inns that make wine on their premises! We brought back some lovely Riesling and a really nice red varietal (which isn't so common for the region). We also had a wonderful meal with fillet of wild boar and other local delicacies.

    enjoy!

  6. If you go to Cologne as must see is the Cathedral, the view from the top of it is pretty cool.

  7. Sorry - what is 8/26?
