We visit Cologne's Old Town, the historic centre of Cologne for almost 2,000 years. Here, between Alter Markt and Fischmarkt, on the squares and in the narrow alleys, life has pulsated for centuries. In the Middle Ages, the markets were here and the lively hustle and bustle of the merchants determined the day. And of course everyone went to one of the many breweries to eat, drink and celebrate. On the guided tour of the Old Town in Cologne, we walk with you through the alleys, show you the particularly beautiful corners and tell you about the life of the people in the past centuries. And we go to a brewery and show you this very special world of Köbes, Kölsch and Pittermännchen and, of course, drink a Kölsch.
