Cologne’s Original Neighbourhood

The southern part of the city is renowned for being Cologne’s most traditional neighbourhood. Here, quaint antique and second-hand shops, traditional crafts, Kaschaemm (pubs), and historical buildings blend harmoniously with modern architecture. The futuristic Rheinauhafen, with its iconic crane houses, prestigious museums, and noted eateries, contrasts with the narrow, winding streets. The Suedstadt offers opportunities for leisurely walks through the enchanting Roman Park, the lively Volksgarten or along the banks of the river Rhine. In the evening, exploring the local gastronomy, clubs, and cabaret is always rewarding.
