In the modern part of the city, it is useful to visit the Ludwig Museum and Philharmonic Orchestra building, which was opened in 1986.. Around 400 live concerts are held annually in the Philharmonic orchestra hall and 600,000 people watch it annually.. This cologne is called Cologne water and has been produced since 1880.. The number 4711 remained from the house numbering system applied when France occupied this area in 1795.
Just across from here is the Cologne architect Wilhelm Riphahn in 1957- We toured the Opera House, built between 1962. The Opera House can host 1,400 people at the same time.
In addition to the bridges, the cable car passing over the Zoobrücke (Zoo bridge) is another alternative to get to the modern part of the city.. This cable car is the only cable car in Europe that crosses the Rheine .
The former settlement of this bridge, that is, on the left side of the city, was built in 1863 by Peter Josef Lenné and there are gardens designed by Joseph Maria Olbrich. A botanical garden was added here in 1914, but this garden also has 2. Damaged and reconstructed in World War II. There are currently 12,000 different types of plants.. The Zoo is located right next to the gardens.. However, we didn’t visit this zoo.
The best view of the city is the Hohenzollernbrücke (Hohenzollern bridge – Three iron bridges) by the modern city (ie the rheine river) you can watch it from the part on the right side). Beautiful both day and night. The Hyatt Regency hotel here, on the other hand, is the hotel with the same view, that is, the most beautiful view of the city.
As for accommodation in Cologne, the CityClass Hotel Europa, which is among the quality hotels in Cologne, is located in the city center and has the Cologne Cathedral. A hotel located 3 minutes’ walk from and the Roman-Germanic Museum. It is very convenient with its proximity to transportation networks and its surrounding facilities.. Located in Cologne’s Old Town, only 300 meters from Cologne Cathedral and Central Station, Senats Hotel Köln can be considered as an alternative to this hotel. Another beautiful hotel in the city centre, Hotel Cristall – Superior is located in the heart of Cologne, a 5-minute walk from the cathedral, main shopping streets and the central train station.. The exhibition center is one stop away by metro.. In addition, to browse other Cologne hotels and make reservations, you can go to booking.com and review Cologne hotels.
There are many chemical factories in Cologne.. The Odysseum , a science museum, is also on the modern side of the city. Lanxess Arena, which hosts many organizations, was opened in 1998. All kinds of events are held here, from sports competitions to congresses, from concerts to carnivals. The structure named “Şiş-Kebab Fountain”, which was created by putting stones on top of each other to express that Cologne was rebuilt after the destructions suffered during the wars, caught my attention. It is possible to see buildings with very different architectures in the modern part of the city.
When we come back to the old part of the city, we see the Museum of Modern Arts.. There’s an upturned ice cream cone on the roof. They expressed modern arts in this way.
Other important places to see in the city are; Overstolzenhaus from the 13th century (Overstolzenhaus, used as a Chamber of Commerce in 1843 and now a college), old townhouses built between the 14th and 17th centuries and the Fish Market, The Gürzenich Hall, used as a dance hall in the 15th century, the Dutch architectural style Zeughaus (Cologne national museum) with a 24-meter pitched roof, and the Hansahochhaus, the tallest skyscraper in Europe at the time it was built in 1920. Also, the entrance gates to the city, of which there were 12 at the time it was built, but now only 3 remain, are among the must-sees.
Make sure to attend a ceremony held in the Dom Cathedral, it is very impressive, just like Cologne itself…
