Here you are offered three distinct options to explore this historic 2,000-year-old city.
You may choose the combined "Holy City" Walking Tour and Kölsch Beer Tasting, a guided experience through the charming Old Town to see historic landmarks like the Cologne Rathaus. This tour concludes with a visit to a local tavern to sample authentic Kölsch beer, learning about the Kölsch Konvention standards that make this pale, top-fermented beer a local exclusive.
As an alternative, dive deeper into the city's centerpiece with the Cologne Cathedral Architecture Tour. This guided examination highlights the historic architectural styles of the 13th-century Gothic marvel and UNESCO World Heritage Site, which impressively withstood numerous aerial bombs during World War II.
For active guests, the Cologne Bike Tour offers a different perspective, taking you on a scenic guided ride along the Rhine and through the historic Stadtgarten.
Regardless of your chosen excursion, you will have ample free time to explore the city before returning to the ship. Art enthusiasts may visit the highly-regarded Wallraf-Richartz or Ludwig museums, while those seeking a more unique experience can explore specialized venues like the Fragrance Museum, Chocolate Museum, or Cologne Carnival Museum.
