Cologne Zoo

Cologne Zoo is worth a visit. The history of the zoo began precisely with it in the 19th century. And here a herd of Indian elephants has been living here for almost 10 years.

Cologne Zoo (Kölner Zoo) It is very popular among animal lovers of all ages. It contains more than 500 species of animals from all continents and oceans. The main attraction is Elephant Park (Elefantenpark). It is so large that animals behave exactly like in the wild.

It is very exciting to watch a flock of 150 baboons on a special island. The zoo contains anthropoids, reptiles and insects. There is a large aquarium and pavilion of Southeast Asia, where high humidity is maintained, and where tropical birds fly freely. Feeding times for various animals are indicated on a plate near the entrance to make it easier for visitors to navigate.

If the sight of a tiger devouring a piece of meat aroused a feeling of hunger in you, then at the zoo you will find eateries, bars, a cafe and a restaurant where you can have a great meal. Behind the zoo, between the ticket office and the metro station, there is an excellent kiosk with pretzels, sweets and drinks.

Cologne Cathedral is not only the main attraction of Cologne, but also the most convenient starting point for walking around the city. The main train station is located right next to the cathedral, so for tourists who travel by public transport, arriving in Cologne by rail is the most rational option.

Potsdam

In Potsdam you need to go for the sights. But its architecture is also interesting. Half-timbered houses, mansions in the classical style of the Enlightenment, modernist buildings, eateries that preserve the spirit of old Germany, the bustle of the Dutch quarter - appear as a single ensemble, where different styles and eras are combined into a single whole, and it’s very attractive.

Church of Greater St. Martin in Cologne

The Church of Greater St. Martin (Groß St. Martin) is a three-nave basilica with a clover-shaped altar and four corner towers and largely determines the left-bank panorama of Cologne from the Middle Ages. In the Roman period, the territory of the church was an island in the middle of the Rhine, on which there were warehouses.

Wuppertal

In the north-west of Germany, on the territory of the North Rhine-Westphalia (Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia), just 50 kilometers from Cologne, the city of Wuppertal is located. But the city, as such, it has become recently. Only at the beginning of the twentieth century the small towns of Elberfeld, Brill and Barman were united in one city.
