Cologne is so synonymous with amazing Christmas markets (which makes winter a great time to visit) but there’s so much more to this city than it’s festive markets.

We were due to fly in but thanks to last minute changes with the flights, we ended up taking the train instead. I actually recommend taking the train to the city – we went straight to the city but seeing as you change trains in Brussels (plus trains stations tend to be in the city centre), I’d recommend throwing in a quick stop to stock up on Belgian waffles before you carry on to this brilliant German city.

We visited the city and have finally gotten round to putting together a video from our time in this amazing city!

Here’s our video on what to see and do when you visit Cologne.
