Apr 7, 2009 - Cologne, Germany

Late Monday night our ship, Viking Helvetia (have I said that already?), set sail for our next stop - Cologne, Germany. ...

Okay, armed with our new-found knowledge, it was time to trek on our guided tour of the city of Cologne, concentrating mainly on the Old Town section. ...

Jun 21, 2008 - last day in Cologne

Hello all, Here it is Saturday our last day in Germany. Cologne has been fabulous - with our hotel right in the old town (within the former Roman walls) everything has been in walking distance, including some amazing shopping areas and the Cathedral. ...

Jun 16, 2008 - Germany - Cologne

Monday 16th June Today we went into the city of Cologne. ... It is Germany’s largest cathedral and somehow it managed to escape any damage during the war, unlike most of Cologne. ... It was brought to Cologne from Milan in the 12th Century. ... BTW – they say that it is no miracle that the cathedral remains intact despite heavy bombing around it; in fact, the Allied pilots used it to navigate, in an era before reliable radar! We would have stayed longer in Cologne but of all the days, the chocolate factory was closed ☹. ...
