The 2,000 year old city is steeped in culture and inevitably constructed with many classic gothic structures.

Another key part of Cologne to explore is the FC Koln stadium where students can get a glimpse at the home ground of the premier team or even avail of match tickets if they’re in town for a game.
When locals from the German countryside on the outskirts of Cologne venture to the city on weekends to both enjoy the city’s party vibe and increase the lively atmosphere, Cologne is also known to throw some pretty famous festivals throughout the year.

People travel internationally to Cologne each year to take to drinking beer and dancing on the streets which makes for the perfect atmosphere for a college class or society trip.
