Cologne (Not Only) for Beginners

A survival guide - not just for visitors and newcomers to Cologne. Even the locals are sometimes baffled. In the beginning was the word Cologne. And God saw that it was good. A forbidden city with strange rituals and mysterious goings-on? Perhaps.

Crack the secret Cologne code and you're already one of us. We're not corrupt - we're quick learners.

And we're not chaotic, just creative. Stubborn? No - determined. And the rumour that we're always wearing make-up? Just a rumour. See the unvarnished side of Cologne and laugh along - a very Italian evening, witty and decidedly un-Cologne. "We move people," says the Cologne public transport authority. The direction was never specified.
