History buffs shouldn’t miss a visit to the Roman-Germanic Museum, which exhibits a large collection of artefacts from the Roman settlement of Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium. In addition to Roman glassworks from funerals and burial sites, it boasts a Dionysus mosaic that remains in its original site as part of a Roman town villa. Adjacent is the Museum Ludwig where works by Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso and Roy Lichtenstein are on display.

Connecting the Altstadt with the neighbourhood of Deutz is the monumental Hohenzollern Bridge, which is the most heavily used railway bridge in Germany. Originally constructed in the early 20th century, it was rebuilt following World War II and is accessible to pedestrians. Equestrian statues of Prussian and German emperors flank its ramps and the bridge offers stunning views of the Cologne Cathedral illuminated after dark.
