In the carnival stronghold on the Rhine you can experience the Rhenish conviviality not only during the fifth season, but the whole year long. The people of Cologne are tolerant, open, and casual, and always find a good reason to drink a Kölsch beer. This beloved beer is found both throughout the city and throughout its more than 2000 years of history.
From the a&o Hostel Cologne you can easily reach the fascinating buildings such as the Cologne Cathedral, the Römer, the Schauspielhaus and the impressive parks – all by foot. Highlight for all visitors a sweet tooth is the Chocolate Museum. Here you can see how chocolates are produced and you can also make your personal chocolate in the museum. In addition, the numerous bars and restaurants along the bank of the Rhine invite guests to enjoy the evening with the imposing view of the cathedral.
