Cologne
Subject Range: MFL, Cultural
What you’ll experience: Cologne is Germany’s fourth-largest city and is located on both sides of the Rhine River. There is much to see and we would recommend a walking tour of the city’s famous and beautiful Gothic Cathedral and the charming historical Old Town. Many sights are concentrated within a square kilometre of the Cathedral, the town hall and the old town with the Romanesque church of Groß St. Martin. Explore the narrow, cobble-stoned alleys of the Old Town and the busy squares like the Roncalliplatz, the Heumarkt or the Alter Markt.
Select Says: You can also discover many monuments and fountains in Cologne’s Old Town, including the Heinzelmännchen fountain, home of the Cologne elves who legend says did all the work for the people of Cologne during the night, so that they could be lazy during the day.
