Yes, I know it’s not actually a gondola, but a cable car, but honestly. It doesn’t matter, it’s a real highlight. Especially when the weather is nice. The Cologne cable car is one of those things where I don’t understand at all why it’s not one of the main attractions. With that I mean well known and frequently visited by tourists etc. Because the ride over the Rhine is really great. And between us… You fly over the Claudius Therme. For all those who don’t know what that means: nude bathers. At least a few. Maybe not always what you would wish for as a view, but it still has something 😀 😉 But back to serious, the ride over the Rhine in the cable car is really worth it. I would even put it in my top 5 in Cologne.
