Cologne, Germany

Cologne is a superb city! From walking in green parks and a great night life, to high-end culture, ancient architecture and free expositions. Tasting delicious German cakes or diving into a multiculti phenomenal dinner, you can find it all in the city by the river Rhein.

I lived 8 years in Cologne and still go there shopping once in a while. I would love to live there again now as an adult. Most people visit Berlin, Munich or Hamburg, but Cologne is really worth it: whether you like carnaval and christmas markets or not, it's an absolute must - And during summertime, there are a lot of free concerts. Köln, fur immer meine Heimat! (= German for 'Cologne, my hometown forever!)
