A one-day sightseeing tour of Cologne simply has to start with a visit to the Cathedral . From here, head down to the Museum Ludwig. Continue from here down to the Rhine and board one of the Rhine ferries at the Hohenzollernbrücke (Hohenzollern Bridge) and steam over to Deutz. Take in the fabulous view of Cologne's impressive Altstadt (Old Town) panorama. A short stroll back over the Deutzer Brücke (Deutz Bridge) brings you to the Hotel Maritim.

Visit St. Georg (St. George's Church) and stroll down Hohe Straße with all its wonderful stores and emporia. Then continue your sojourn towards the Gürzenich where you should take a well-deserved rest.
Recuperated and refreshed, visit Alt-St. Alban (Old St. Alban's Church) and then continue on to the Rathaus, (Town Hall), crossing the Alter Markt (Old Market) and through St. Martin's Quarter to Groß St. Martin Martin (Great St. Martin's Church).

In the evening, the KölnMesse recommends a concert at the Philharmonie or "Saturday Night Fever" at the Musical Dome next to the Central Station.
If you are visiting Cologne on a Monday, we recommend that you visit the Diözesanmuseum (Diocesan Museum) instead of the museum complex, as almost all municipal museums are closed on Mondays.
