Cologne

A Gothic cathedral with twin spires that dominate the skyline from every angle in the city, a carnival season the whole region builds its calendar around, and a beer style served only here in small glasses that keep arriving until you say stop.
The best time to visit Cologne is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 16°C (60°F).
