Roman Praetorium

The Praetorium was once the seat of the Imperial Governor of Cologne. Now this is an underground archaeological area where you can walk around and through tunnels with Roman ruins and learn more about the city's history. It is partly located under the current City Hall.

Cologne's Old Town is the historical centre of the city. Highlights of this area include the Cathedral, the Roman Praetorium, the twelve Romanesque churches of Cologne, and the City Hall, which is the oldest building of this kind in all Germany. Sightseeing can be even more exciting if you go on a boat tour, a cable car, or a building with a panoramic view of the city. Nature lovers can find refuge in one of the city's parks, at the Botanical Garden, or at the zoo. Below is a list of the top things to do and see in Cologne, Germany:
