A cathedral, Kölsch in small glasses and the rivalry with Düsseldorf across the river.
Cologne is built around its cathedral and its brewery taverns, where Kölsch comes in small glasses until you put a beer mat on top. Roman and medieval churches, the Museum Ludwig and the old town on the Rhine are within walking distance; Düsseldorf, forty minutes away, answers with Altbier, the Königsallee and art of its own.
