What: Beach Where: Rheinpark Opening hours: 24/7 How to be reached: Rheinpark reinkopieren Website: Maps location:
Why that beach has a separate post, although I have already presented the Rheinpark? Because this beach offers one of the most beautiful views of the cathedral. Seriously, I hardly know a better one. I’d even say it’s the best when you’re only looking at the cathedral. You have to imagine it like this: you sit down on a stony beach by the water and you can look at the beautiful landmark of our city in all its glory. While you do that, you can have a picnic or play ball, or read, sleep, whatever. Doesn’t that sound mega? People also sit down on the beach here when the Cologne Lights (Post) take place in summer, which is a beautiful firework that tells a story accompanied by music. Absolute event highlight of Cologne. But back to the beach. I personally find the view simply breathtaking. Therefore… If the sun is shining, go there and simply enjoy the view. You won’t want to leave that soon again. Promise. 😀
