Cologne, Germany

Cologne’s great Gothic cathedral's lacy twin spires and wonderful stained glass never fail to impress. Miraculously, the cathedral escaped wartime destruction, unlike most of the city. The old town attracts visitors with its excellent restaurants, lively taverns, bars and boutiques. The pedestrian-only Hohe-Strasse is a shopper’s paradise, and Eau de Cologne toilet water, trademarked 4711 (the former address), is world famous.
