Cologne by night

- Cologne Cathedral, Cathedral, Hauptbahnhof, Colonius, KölnTurm, Station area, Neumarkt, Chlodwigplatz

Köln is a very vibrant city at night with an extensive night life, even compared to Berlin. Many bands have concerts in Cologne. The main entertainment area is a round Kölner Ringe that circulates the city. Some buildngs are illuminated at dark. The Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) looks really myserious after dark.

I stayed at Neumarkt in Altstadt-Süd the first night, visited Cologne for A day and travelled further to Düsseldorf in the evening. I then stayed at the A&O Hostel Neumarkt. I returned to Köln after the Luxembourg trip on the last day and then stayed at the Hotel am Chlodwigplatz in the South part of the city center. It was Saturday night and the city was really on fire, people were dancing and singing in the subways, drinking and smoking and playing loud music in the parks and singing and shouting all night long along karaoke tracks outside convenience stores. The hotel even provided earplugs for the guests!
