Cologne
A city famous for its perfumes and cathedral
Book flights to Cologne and shop around the Neumarkt or admire the Rathaus and the illuminated Hohenzollernbrücke. Towering high above the other buildings, the Cologne Cathedral is an eye-catching monument. Climb up the 157-metre-high clock tower for a beautiful view of the city. Travelling with the whole family? Admire the snow panthers and grey owls at the Kölner Zoo. Or ride the steepest wild water slide in the world at Phantasialand, just outside of the city!
Enjoying the Altstadt
The historic Altstadt near the Cathedral is a popular destination. Not just to shop or have a drink on a patio, but also to visit museums, such as the Museum Ludwig, where you can admire modern art from Andy Warhol to Picasso. The Cathedral is also where one of the most famous Christmas markets in Germany is held. Bring on those dark winter days! Cologne is not only perfect for a city trip but also makes a great starting point for a longer holiday in Germany. Expect to be surprised: book a flight to Cologne now!
The fragrance of Cologne
Cologne is famous for the 4711 brand of eau de cologne (hence the name). Perfumery Farina-Haus still sells the most wonderful fragrances. Or learn more about the brand in the museum! The Rhine cuts through the heart of the city. Take a cable car for a fun ride across the river. On a sunny day enjoy a bike ride along the river bank and look at the pleasure boats and cargo ships. For a fun night out, visit the artistic neighbourhood Belgisches Viertel. Or sample a local beer at one of the breweries on the Neumarkt!

Arts & Culture
Houston and Dallas may be bigger and more famous, but Austin is in fact the capital of Texas. It’s also the least Texan city in Texas. And the weirdest city in the country. This is something its residents take pride in, as evidenced by the Austin motto of Keep Austin Weird! Have a peek inside weird houses or admire a cathedral of junk in a city where there is even a museum devoted entirely to the weird and strange.
Nightlife
When it comes to music, you might be inclined to think New Orleans (jazz), Memphis (rock ‘n’ roll), Chicago (blues) or Nashville (country), but Austin is actually the music capital of the US. The city boasts over 250 music venues, more than any other American city. You can choose from countless live performances and a fantastic music festival every month, such as SXSW. Austin lives and breathes music.
