About Cologne
The largest city on the Rhine, its commercial importance was already established as long ago as the Middle Ages. In the time of the Roman Empire, Cologne was the most important trading and manufacturing centre north of the Alps.
Cologne Attractions
Founded by the Romans, Cologne is more than 2,000 years old. Its Gothic cathedral, which dominates the skyline, is a top attraction. Construction took place over a 600-year period, and the cathedral is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Toast the town with Kolsch, Cologne's own beer style.
Historically, the English called this town Gaunt, after John of Gaunt. The town of Ghent is built up around two seventh-century abbeys, St. Peter´s and St. Bavo´s, and Gravensteen´s castle, built in the ninth century. Due to the similar styles of the Flemish merchants and architects that settled Ghent, this city is sometimes considered a twin of nearby Brugge.
