Cologne is anchored by the colossal, twin-spired Gothic cathedral that looms over a city defined by warmth and conviviality. Travelers wander through the colorful, rebuilt Old Town, cross the love-lock-laden Hohenzollern Bridge, and immerse themselves in the lively culture of the Brauhaus. It is a city of layers, where Roman ruins sit beneath modern museums and the cheerful "Kölsh" spirit makes every visitor feel like a local.
