Answer 3

The chocolate museum is cool. the cable car across the Rhine is scary! I´ve been told the zoo is good. There´s thriving g*y community and a good pedestrian shopping area. My ex´s cousin runs a restaurant popular with bicyclists and wanderers just outside of Cologne. The best thing about Cologne is it´s proximity to the Dutch border!

Answer 4

Cologne is great, you should definitely go. Yes, the cathedral is wonderful, but there is so much more to see. Like oh so many other churches. The locals call the city Holy Cologne.  Visit the Melatenfriedhof cemetery, beautiful and full of history.  

Go for a stroll in the Belgian quarter. Visit one of the excellent museums ( like the Roman/Germanic one). Find the place where a golden car is parked high up on a rooftop. Go to the chocolate museum (educational and very tasty). There's this great vegetarian restaurant in Sülz called Grünlilie, worth a visit even if you just like good food.

You can also take a boat cruise on the Rhine. And there are a lot of green spots in Cologne, too, plus good nightlife. Enjoy!
