Rheinauhafen District
Rheinauhafen District is a waterfront neighborhood transformed from an old freight port. The riverside promenade is lined with modern buildings, interspersed with cafes, galleries, and art spaces. The remnants of the port era and the newly built glass facades complement each other, showcasing a modern urban style. The district's core landmark consists of three high-rise buildings known as the "Crane Houses," standing approx. 60m tall, with an inverted L-shape that echoes the area's history as a freight terminal. Historical remnants, such as the Bayenturm tower dating back to the Middle Ages, are also preserved along the route. Looking north along the river, the silhouettes of the cathedral and the iron bridge are clearly visible, with classical spires and modern architecture framed together. At dusk, the sunset reflects on the river surface, and strolling along the path offers a panoramic view of the city on both banks, forming a waterfront view that blends industrial memories with a stylish atmosphere.Cologne · 23.3 km from Bonn

Minster of St. Martin's
The Bonn Cathedral was built between 1140 and 1250. It perfectly combines Roman and Gothic architectural styles. It is one of the important masterpieces of medieval church architecture.

Friedrich der Schöne was crowned in Bonn Cathedral. Over the centuries, Bonn Cathedral has been renovated and enlarged by its successive successors. It was bombed by Allied artillery during World War II and was later repaired. The church has a bronze statue of Helena (the daughter of Zeus in Greek mythology) and two 18th-century marble altars surrounded by romantic Baroque carvings and frescoes.Bonn · 435m from downtown

The Cologne Cathedral is a jaw-dropping masterpiece of Gothic architecture. The moment you step out of the central train station, its colossal twin spires tower over you-the sheer scale of it is completely overwhelming and beautiful.Inside, the experience is just as incredible. The massive vaulted ceilings, the stunning, intricate stained-glass windows, and the historic Shrine of the Three Kings are unforgettable. For an extra adventure, you can climb the hundreds of steps up the South Tower for a spectacular panoramic view of Cologne and the Rhine River. It is an absolute must-visit landmark that easily deserves a perfect rating!

The castle has a beautiful exterior and nice interior decoration. The corridor on the first floor is painted, and the roofs and furniture in the bedroom and living room are all made of solid wood. The bearskin carpet on the ground, the large murals on the wall, and the glazed patterns on the glass all show the luxury of Dragon Castle.

This was a unique experience! Farina is the original Eau de Colonge, and the tour is in the origianl house. (The factory moved out of the city center.) Our tour guide was Weibke, who did a wonderful pesentation in English. She is very knowledgable, and explained a lot of historical facts. The museum is small, but packed with a lot of antiques and information. I was glad that I didn't buy the other brand of colonge at the Cathedral, since 4711 it is not the original
