Cologne is famous for its Brauhaus culture. These traditional beer halls, or breweries, serve food and the Old Town is home to some of the best. Enjoy local delicacies such as Halve Hahn (thick slices of Gouda cheese served with raw onion, butter and bread), Mettbrütche (raw minced pork served with onions and bread) and Himmel un Ääd (fried black pudding, chunky apple puree and mashed potato) paired with a glass (or three) of Kölsch beer. This speciality cold ale is only brewed in Cologne and...

Fully revived, meander back to the city through one of Cologne's many parks, such as the Rheinpark – a large green oasis with stunning views of the Rhine – or Cologne’s free Sculpture Park, which has a range of sculptures by famous artists such as Anish Kapoor.

Cologne’s food scene is much more than Brauhaus fare, and it’s worth treating yourself to one of its highly regarded restaurants. For innovative fine dining there’s Amabile or Ox und Klee; the sumptuous Italian food at Alfredo or Da Damiano; and don’t forget Café Feynsinn, which kick-started Cologne’s slow-food movement. Book ahead to avoid disappointment. But for those keen to sample more hearty German staples, head straight to family-owned Bei Oma Kleinmann, or spend the night drinking Köls...
