Cologne
Cologne is a straightforward city break with a huge cathedral, Rhine views, and an easygoing beer culture.
Cologne has an easygoing Rhine-side vibe anchored by its huge Gothic cathedral and a long trading-city history that still shapes the old center; it fits a budget Europe trip because the main sights are close together, while river cruises, brewery tours, city walks, and nearby day trips keep the booking options broad.
