Welcome to Bonio's Cologne page

by bonio - last update: Oct 20, 2007

A beautiful warm summer weekend in Cologne, Koln, why must names be changed in English - surely it's easier if everyone calls places the same? ..... Anyway, good place to visit, plenty to see, do and drink! heres what we got up to......

Revisit April 2005

Just a short visit, a Saturday to watch the NFL Europe game between Cologne and Hamburg. Managed to revisit some Kolsch bars too of course!

Third visit, October 2007, to see a Waterboys gig so, a music venue to report on and another good bar.
Local beer, called Kolsch, is very light - great on warm days but not too sure in winter, and served in tiny glasses called stange - still....developed a good liking for it of course, though I understand it is ridiculed throughout the rest of Germany - shame! I'll mention some of the Hausbrauerei we visited later...

 Great tips and photos -- especially on the beer houses! I will be in Cologne for the first time later this week. Looking forward to my first Kolsch. :) Best from New Jersey, Bill

 Thanks Alan. Just what we needed, precise information on Cologne. We are going there this Thursday to check out the German Christmas Markets.

 So you liked the Kolsch then?! I spent a day at the Christmas markets in Cologne a few years ago, hopefully I'll go back some day.
