Cologne is not only a
popular tourist destination but also a centre for media and businesses. The
city is famous for, Eau de Cologne, a type of fragrance now used the world
over, which was first produced here in 1709. The city is also well known to be
one of the most liberal cities in Germany.
Over 900 years of history are built into the stones of Cologne’s governmental buildings, where structures from throughout the centuries form one stunning landmark.
