Overlooking this whole city are the two spires of Cologne’s medieval cathedral, and those fit enough should definitely attempt to climb the 509 steps of the south tower for breath-taking views of Cologne. This culturally rich city has over 100 art galleries as well as some of the most famous museums in the world, so culture-vultures will be absolutely spoilt for choice when they visit. For work by the Masters head to the Wallraf-Richartz Museum, or for more contemporary art works try the Ludwig Museum.
