Cologne: The essential walking tour - ES

Tour description

A spot in Tripadvisor's top 5 speaks for itself! Discover the secrets of the largest city on the Rhine during this free tour of Cologne's must-see sights. The meeting point is at the stairs next to the cathedral, right outside Cologne Central Station. Not to be confused with the main entrance to the cathedral. That isn't there 😉 We will be standing there with our white and green umbrella so you can easily spot us. From there, we head to the Heinzelmännchenbrunnen fountain, named after a pair of curious gnomes said to be connected to the city of Cologne... mysterious, isn't it? We follow our route past more of the city's iconic monuments, such as the City Hall, the Rheingarten (a park along the Rhine), and the Fischmarkt. Further along, we arrive at Haus Farina. Did you know that this is one of Cologne's most famous perfumeries? You can see this and much more during our essential walking tour of Cologne with The Walkings. And as an extra after the tour, you’ll receive handy tools to discover Cologne like a local: a map of public restrooms, recommended eateries, ATMs, and even our personal “Black List” — yes, those places we’d rather advise against 😉 Everything carefully curated to make your stay easier, tastier, and more authentic. Highlights: ♥ Heinzelmännchen Fountain ♥ Historic Town Hall (Rathaus) ♥ Old Market (Alter Markt) ♥ The Rhine Promenade (Rheingarten) ♥ Fish Market Square (Vischmarkt) ♥ Perfume Museum (Farina) ♥ The best breweries (Brauhaus) 💶 Price & Booking: There is no fixed price. At the end of the tour, you may tip your guide based on your experience (usually between €10 and €50).
