Cologne (or Köln in German) is the oldest German city, dating from 50 A.D., when it was called Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium.

Cologne Cathedral took a staggering 632 years to build - started in 1248 and completed in 1880.

Cologne is known as Germany's "fun city" because the locals are so friendly and hospitable.

Italian Johann Maria Farina moved here and created a fragrance that he named eau de Cologne or "water from Cologne." The original fragrance is still produced in Cologne today.
