Tour description

Come with me on a journey through the legends and stories of Cologne.
Over 2,000 years of Cologne's history, a number of legends have accumulated. They testify to the city's constant transformation, as well as to the Cologne way of life, as it continues to this day.
They are stories of love, protest, and arrogance. Occasionally, things can even get a bit obscene.

The stories are hidden, among other places, at the famous fragrance house 4711 , at the historic Altermarkt and in the heart of the city, Cologne Cathedral.

You should plan on about two hours for the approximately 2-kilometer route. It's best to bring something to drink and snacks, or have a good breakfast beforehand. However, we can also take a break at any time.

The tour starts at Neumarkt . It is easily accessible by tram lines 1, 7, 9, 3, 4, 16, and 18, or by bus.
The tour will end directly in front of Cologne Cathedral .


Highlights

What will we see on this tour?

Meeting point:

We'll meet right in front of the "Foto Gregor" shop. It shouldn't be too crowded, so it's easy to meet up. You'll recognize me by my blue bag.
