Cologne is a very touristy city. Consider your travel date if you want to avoid the crowds. During my short one-day trip, I visited the Lindt Chocolate Museum, the Cologne Cathedral, which you can't miss, and the shopping streets. I recommend heading away from the city center if you want to feel more immersed in the city.
Posted: May 30, 2025Experienced: April, 2025For me it was a little difficult, sometimes I felt alone and had no one to go out with, there aren't that many things to do and they don't have festivals or as much street music as I expected there would be, the people are friendly but they don't make much of an effort to include you, unfortunately the first day I arrived I had a very persistent experience in terms of xenophobia but nothing went wrong.
Posted: April 14, 2025Experienced: March, 2025I felt safe. You can see the churches around, there are 12 of them. It's nice to see the botanical garden, grab some Kölsch and stroll around the river. I stayed at Novo Hotel. I walked mostly on foot but it's easier if you rent a bike or go by bus.

It was my first time doing a solo trip. I felt pretty safe considering the fact that the city itself has free wifi and you can find an english speaker everywhere in the city. The only thing that out me off was the food options. Maybe I couldn't find something good but everything was pretty bland, especially after trying amazing food all around in my Paris trip.
Posted: February 10, 2025Experienced: November, 2024my experience cologne was really nice, i went for the concert there, and felt quite safe throughout the day, though maybe not as much during the night time. the transportation was okay, though there were some problems with bus, which made me amost miss my train

cologne is a very friendly city, the people are really nice and always helpful. it’s not a ‚polite‘ vibe, they just start to talk to you randomly, you can always ask for help or meet new friends :))))

hi beautiful girls 🌹 I am Betül, I was raised in Germany in a Turkish family and I would say I'm definitely defining my identity as "migrant" somehow, I am an easy going 27 year old women, I am an extrovert and I really like to travel and enjoy a lot meeting locals 🌹 I am spontaneous and flexible and time doesn't feel real to me, especially when I am traveling. I like to eat a lot, especially street food I like to talk about politics a lot, also history and philosophy and poetry I like nature & hikes, but also culture and big city life I like dancing & partying (but not necessarily drink alcohol, I like to smoke 🍀 tho) I don't like fake people/fake kindness I don't like bad smells I don't like "apolitical" people I don't like fancy & money spending plans + I wanna learn Arabic!!! I send much love all around you ❤️ ps: if you don't support palestine we will not be friends 🙃

Hi, my name's Inas. I'm 21 years old and currently live in Cologne, where I'm pursuing a law degree at the University of Cologne. I'm yazidi, originally from Kuridistan, so I speak Kurdish as my mother tongue. I grew up in a community-centric society, so I appreciate community values a lot, which for me basically means taking care of each other. That's what this app is promoting, so that along with my wish to see new places and meet new people is why I'm on it. I'm very social and get along with most people. It's important to me though that the people around me are open-minded and tolerant, especially when it comes to human rights (which include the right of immigrants and LGBTQIA+). Right now, I live in a shared apartment at the heart of Cologne (Germany). Unfortunately, my room (and my bed) are quite small but if you feel comfortable enough sleeping on a mattress in my room, then you're welcome to stay over.
