Germany’s urban G-E-M-S: Köln
What if I’ve landed in Germany, and I wanted to find less-explored aspects in one of her cities? The word “gems” might be overused, but I’ve turned the word into a handy list of “G-E-M-S”, representing a Green space (Grünanlange), a place to Eat (Essen gehen), a Museum, and something a little out of the ordinary or a Special tip (Sondertipp).
They’re not only recommendations, but I’d like the interested reader to consider places where locals go to relax, eat, and enjoy themselves.
I’ve described G-E-M-S for Frankfurt am Main, München (Munich), Hamburg, and Berlin.
The present post is about the Carnival city of Cologne on the river Rhein.
