Local characters, anecdotes and specialities and a guided tour in the Cologne Cathedral

What makes Cologne so special? What is "typically Kölsch"? Perhaps you are thinking of "Tünnes und Schäl-, the "Kallendresser" or the notorious "Kölschen Klüngel"? Is it rather the numerous well-known songs that appeal to young and old alike and that are sung not only at carnival time? Or is it the countless stories and anecdotes that are told here with a wink about the city and its inhabitants? At the end of this humorous tour through the old town you will definitely agree with us: Cologne is a feeling! On the way we take a look into the world-famous Cologne Cathedral with its gigantic dimensions and its rich furnishings. After the foundation stone was laid in 1248, it took more than 600 years until the cathedral was completed in the 19th century. The inner appearance is mainly determined by the extensively preserved windows and the golden shining shrine of the Magi.
