Hello gorgeous people!!!
I hope you have a lovely weekend so far. As promised and I will be away from next week, so I better write part 2 of my Cologne trip this weekend for you.
For me, Cologne considered quite conservative compared to the adventurous Berlin or Munich. The city is 2,000-year-old which spanning along the Rhine River in western Germany. It is considered a region's cultural hub with many landmarks in High Gothic architecture such as the Koln Dom in my last post. Unfortunately, most of the city was destroyed during WWII and had to rebuilt quickly in order to create housing for its population post-war.
Another famous landmark is in the Old Town area, we took a walk and explore many cute little shops along the cobblestone alley. If you walk through the area to the Rhine riverside, you will find the famous colorful Bavarian-style buildings in front of you.

After a long walk then it's time for lunch. The hip area for locals here is situated between Aachener Straße in the south and Friesenplatz in the northeast. This area is called Belgium Quarter as all the street named after cities in Belgium. There are many cute and hip cafe, restaurants and bars along this street.

I found that Cologne might not be an ultimate shopping city but the charm comes from the unique character of the people. They are open-minded and relax approach to life which you can experience this in the brewing house where people blend in and have easy conversations or even invite to share the table with the locals.
Our next stop is Milano. Until next time....
