Cologne is located in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, along the Rhine River. Founded by Romans, Cologne is one of Germany's oldest cities and there is evidence of this past everywhere you turn. Cologne Cathedral is Germany's largest cathedral and a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. The city's Rheingarten Park and old quarter are firm favourites with locals and tourists alike, great places to enjoy a stroll and stop off at one of the traditional breweries. You will also find a striking group of twelve large Romanesque churches in the city centre.
