Located on the banks of the Rhine, Cologne offers a diverse range of museums, theatres and opera and has plenty of old-world charm with its cobbled streets dating back to Roman times. The city has become a vibrant destination with an excellent selection of restaurants and bars all serving the local specialty beer (Kolsch). If you prefer not to fly, we can recommend the high-speed rail service from Eurostar’s London St. Pancras International station; you can reach Cologne in just five hours via Brussels.
