Cologne

Discover this vibrant German city with the best local guides

Tours in Cologne are offered by our partners, The Walkings.

Divided by the Rhine River in western Germany, Cologne (or Köln in German) is the fourth largest city in the country and has something for every visitor to enjoy. This vibrant and diverse cultural hub boasts incredible museums, countless breweries, pubs and restaurants, a UNESCO-listed cathedral and a charming old town filled with colourful houses, quaint shops and cobbled streets.

The cathedral alone makes your visit to Cologne well worth it. This jaw-dropping building is one of Germany’s most visited landmarks and a must see when in the city, but Cologne has much more to offer. Be blown away by Museum Ludwig’s incredible 20th-century and contemporary art collection; discover Cologne’s trendiest shops, cafés and restaurants in the Belgian Quarter; cruise along the Rhine River and take in incredible views of the city; or discover the narrow alleyways and picturesque streets of the historic old town, amongst many other things.

Join The Walkings’ Free Tour of Cologne to get a general overview of the city and its rich 2,000 years of history. Don’t miss any of the main attractions and discover the hidden gems of Cologne with a local guide that will show you the city’s unique local culture.

Discover the top sites in Cologne with the tours offered by our partners, The Walkings. While you may not see the famous SANDEMANs red umbrellas (look instead for The Walkings red and white umbrellas), we only work with partners we know, trust, and who have been vetted by us to ensure they meet the same standards you are used to enjoying in SANDEMANs’ own cities. We are proud to partner with The Walkings and are sure you’ll love their tours as much as we do!
