We want to show you the neighbourhood – or as we call them here: Veedel – exactly as locals experience Cologne every day. Hence we move off the beaten paths on our walking tour. We focus on the feeling for our district — not merely on dry numbers!

On our walking tour through the Veedel you will explore the beautiful Friedenspark and the Rheinauhaufen — the former harbour of the district — and learn what connects the South of Cologne with John Lennon. In Severinsviertel, famous for its special medieval charm, we find out what the Bürgerhaus has to do with chocolate and why Cologne sometimes is called the “most northern city of Italy”. Past the Bayenturm we explore the so-called Eierplätzchen at the adjacent Römerpark, thus rounding off our tour perfectly. We’re looking forward to seeing you on our Südstadt Neighbourhood walking tour in Cologne!

Here’s some of what you’ll see and where to explore beyond our tour!
