We visited Cologne a little while back for the first time and despite the cold (and relative lack of sunshine - which is pretty standard in Europe for that time of year to be fair), we absolutely loved it!

Here's a quick video from our time in Cologne! Hope it helps in some little when you decide to visit the city (if you haven't already been of course).
