魔女锦鲤
The classic photo I often see is a photo of the Hohenzollern Bridge and the Cologne Cathedral. Walking east along the Cologne Cathedral, you will come to the bridge. On both sides of the bridge are sidewalks and bicycle lanes, and in the middle is the railway track. Walking on the bridge, there are trains passing by on the middle track from time to time. Standing in the middle of the bridge or on the west bank of the bridge is a better place to enjoy. On the side of the sidewalk near the track, there are colorful and dense love locks. It is said that hanging a lock on the Hohenzollern bridge, throwing the key into the Rhine, love can be long, so many locals, and tourists who come here, have carved their names and lovers on the lock and left on this bridge, accumulated over the years, more and more locks, Colorful copper locks, forming unique landscape. Reason to go: Germany's most romantic bridge

Dusseldorf King's Boulevard is known as the world's most elegant shopping street, known for luxury goods and internationally renowned brands, and is located in the Dusseldorf business district. The immersive feeling is beautiful. Impressed on both sides is the chocolate shop, a dazzling array of people, as soon as they enter the taste buds, eat and eat. Next is the crazy buy buy buy!

Fine Art Galleries
Museums
Sheda11
The galleries are enormous and many areas flooded with light. It is a pleasure to walk round. Interpretive material in English and German, the emphasis being to put the artworks in historical context, grouped by 'movement'. The collection is based on two private donations. Admission expensive with no reduction for pensioners, but worth the charge for the Picasso, the Russian avant-garde and Max Beckmann. There is a really excellent bookshop with many books in English.

This was a unique experience! Farina is the original Eau de Colonge, and the tour is in the origianl house. (The factory moved out of the city center.) Our tour guide was Weibke, who did a wonderful pesentation in English. She is very knowledgable, and explained a lot of historical facts. The museum is small, but packed with a lot of antiques and information. I was glad that I didn't buy the other brand of colonge at the Cathedral, since 4711 it is not the original

This church is located by the waterfront and was rebuilt post WWII. Not as impressive as the Cologne Cathedral and hence visit if time permits.

After the Cathedral, this beautiful medieval building is the major attraction of Cologne.It's a working town hall, in fact when I went there was a wedding party outside, and an extension with modern architecture is juxtaposed to the medieval part.
