Mindful meoweler tips

Go see the Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral) at night

Cat, the massive gothic church will leave you in awe as it shines in the dark. Make sure your paws are quiet, as you'll be surrounded by other cats too

Try the traditional Kölsch beer at a Brauhaus

Cat, this light beer is brewed in the Cologne area since the 13th century and only served in small 0.2 L glasses. Be careful not to drink too much, or you'll be meowing all night

Visit the Rheinauhafen District

This renovated port area has a maritime atmosphere and modern architecture. Be sure to see the Kranhäuser (Crane Houses) and explore the Chocolate Museum
