As engrossing as this wonderful German City promises to be, Cologne is certainly a favorite European City of mine that I fell in love with the moment I set foot in this lavish “Deutschland”. Referred to as one of the largest cities in Germany, Cologne is full to the brim with cozy cafes, lustrous hotels, and high-class restaurants where you could try typical German “brötchen-based recipes” aka the traditional bread roll. Alongside this, of course, you should not miss out on tasting other world-recognized and noteworthy gourmet dishes and locally famous desserts! Here are some accommodation recommendations where you can sleep off your food coma.
