Cologne Itinerary
by a local
Cologne isn't drinking a novelty half-liter beer in a plastic stein by the Cathedral. Kölners drink 0.2L Kölsch in a proper brauhaus like Päffgen, eat halve Hahn (which is cheese, not chicken), and cross the Rhine on foot for the skyline.
Kölsch, Cathedral, Rhine promenade.
The three swaps a local would make
Souvenir stein and buffet next to the Dom
Kölsch at Päffgen, standing at a barrel
Chocolate Museum shop
Free viewing platform at the museum instead
Overpriced river cruise
Cross Hohenzollern Bridge on foot at sunset
