With 5 days in Cologne, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Beyond the cathedral's shadow, Cologne reveals its true character along the Rhine's promenade, in the quirky boutiques of the Belgian Quarter, and during the chaotic, joyous frenzy of Karneval. It's a city of contrasts: ancient Romanesque churches stand beside contemporary art at Museum Ludwig, while the solemnity of the NS Documentation Center gives way to the sweet indulgence of the Chocolate Museum.
