The best way to find the Belgian Quarter is from Rudolfplatz. The names of the streets will let you know if you're in the right place. Antwerpener Straße and Brüsseler Platz sound pretty Belgian. This is pretty much the coolest part of Cologne, with attractive old buildings and expensive apartments. Many bars and restaurants have made this their home, hoping to bring in the media crowd. This has not proved difficult for Alcazar, its façade is well-known from the opening credits of the Saturday night comedy show Samstag Nacht. Easy listening sounds and the feel of the Sixties are to be found at Review © 2007, Wcities |

Lots of students and down-to-earth people live here. What was once a bit run down has since been revived as an area of cultural activity. Lots of bars and cafés can be found in the side streets off the long Venloer Straße, which runs right through Ehrenfeld. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cologne's Old Town dates back to Roman times, 2000 years ago. It's an area of small, winding streets and old houses. Old Romanesque churches abound, as well as a newer (only a century old) cathedral, called the Dom. The Dom, Germany's most visited attraction, was at one point the tallest building in the world. It houses a shrine with the relics of the Three Wise Men and other religious art. The Old Town was where medieval ships would unload and sell their goods, and today some of those markets remain, although the fish market is the only one still in working condition. Today it is a place to explore and be rewarded with a comfortable bar or a hidden generations-old restaurant. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Ring begins at Chlodwigplatz and ends at Ebertplatz, following the contours of the old city wall. It forms a giant semi-circle around the center of town and supplies one with ample sources of amusement--you could spend months just going from place to place along this road and still not get bored. This guide follows the Ring from South to North through the various quarters, then further out to Nippes and Ehrenfeld. The Hohenzollernring is another busy area for bars. It is also home to many bistros and restaurants, and excels in inexpensive Italian cusine. Quite a few Mexican-style restaurants can be found near here, such as Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cologne's main student hang-out is found around Barbarossaplatz and Zülpicher Platz. Masses of bars and pubs are located here, and it is hard to decide where to leave your money.
