S5:Ep8 - Visiting Cologne/Bonn, Germany (Pros and Cons)
AUGUST 2024
I traveled from Manchester to Cologne, and despite the heat, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Being my first visit, I’ve put together a list of pros and cons. Splitting my time between Bonn and Cologne gave me a well-rounded view of the area, and both cities have so much to offer.
One highlight was visiting the Beethoven House, where you can explore the very home where he spent the first four years of his life. And Bonn Minster, with its stunning Romanesque architecture, is an absolute must-see.
