• Cologne

  Cologne – Köln or Kölle, depending on how native you’ve gone – is Germany’s oldest city, dating back over two millennia. Dominated by the towers of its rustic, soaring cathedral, Cologne is a little heralded corner of Germany that hides numerous photogenic medieval and Roman features amongst its charms. It’s a refined city, a place where Belgian-style chocolate shops integrate the epic beer halls, and the angular pastel houses along the banks of the Rhine give the centre an almost fairytale vibe.
  
  It’s hard to miss the twin towers of the 157 meter tall cathedral, Dom, which took over 600 years to build, and are celebrated throughout Germany in songs and literature. Inside you’ll find the golden Sarcophagus of Epiphany, a 13th century relic that’s at the forefront of a mammoth collection of art hidden in the cathedrals’ treasure chamber. In fact, the entire city is rammed full of churches, with twelve ornate Romanic examples tucked within the Medieval city walls, including a tiny 9th century worship spot that takes the breath away.
  
  The Fish Market, the City Gates, the City Hall, the Praetorium and the Roman Tower all offer outstanding examples of the Cologne of old, too, while you can pick up a thorough explanation of it all at the impressive Römisch-Germanisches Museum, which gives a full account of the Romans along the Rhine, as well as housing its own mosaics.
  
  The city’s not all about history, though. There’s plenty in the way of off the wall modern architecture here, and the locals have a penchant for a few beers (try the local specialty Kölsch) and soaking up an inspiring local collection of modern art. The beer halls here are notoriously lively, while there’s a full on social calendar incorporating the impressive local soccer team and plenty in the way of live concerts or theater to enjoy, too.
  
  While it might be Germany’s oldest city, Cologne’s far from stuffy, and goes out of its way to run with the times. None of that ancient charm’s been lost, though, and you can spend hours exploring the side streets eying ornate buildings and snacking on spectacular chocolate. Alternatively, bring a strong painkiller, and dive into the tumultuous nightlife.
  
  During the Christmas period you can stroll at three different authentic Christmas markets: one at the cathedral, one in town center and one at 'Alter Markt' near the river.

• Essen

  For more than 100 years, Essen has been considered being the industrial heart of Germany, because it was the headquarter of steel producer Krupp. Many furnaces have been shut since the 1980s, but administrative headquarters of major companies are still located in Essen. The southern suburbs, Kettwig and Werden, are located in the beautiful Ruhr valley. Villa Hügel, the private residence of Krupp family, is open to visitors. Zeche Zollverein, a former coal mine in the northern suburbs, has been designated as UNESCO World Heritage.

• Dortmund

  Dortmund is one of the largest cities in the Ruhr District. It grew from a small town into a huge industrial city in the wake of the industrial revolution, with coal mining and steel mills. Since the 1980s, though, coal mining has ceased, the air and waters are now clean, and the whole Ruhr district has transformed thoroughly. Due to World War II the city center consists, like in most cities in the Ruhr district, mostly of post-war architecture. In between there are a couple of old churches which tell of Dortmund's great past as imperial city and member of the Hansa.
  
  Dortmund's Christmas market is the largest in Germany with about 300 stalls. It fills three squares and the streets in between. For the lovers of superlatives, they also claim to have the largest Christmas tree in the world. It is of course not a real single tree but built as a metal structure that carry lots and lots of little trees. Anyway, it is impressive.
  
  Dortmund is the seat of a famous and successful soccer team, BVB Borussia Dortmund. Football is almost a religion in this area. You will see a lot of black and yellow stripes in the city, not only on match days. So take care not to cheer for the wrong team. Never wear blue and white stripes, as these are the colors of the neighboring rival Schalke 04...

• Bonn

  The city of Bonn is located in the Cologne/ Bonn region in the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
  It is the former capital of West Germany from 1949 - 1990 and the official seat of government from 1990 - 1999.
  
  It was home to many government institutions (prior to their move to Berlin) but still remains as the country's center of politics and administration. Bonn now holds the title of "Federal City" and has since developed into a hub of international cooperation with the housing of 17 United Nations institutions. The city has also established itself as an important national and international center of conventions, meetings and conferences of Germany's largest corporate companies such as DHL headquarter (The Post Tower being holding the record of the tallest building in North Rhine-Westphalia region).
  
  And one definitely cannot miss the Rhein River which flows through it. Take a stroll by the river bank and enjoy the surrounding environment with all the greenery.
  
  The city is not all about government and business though. Thousands of people ranging from classical music lovers to experts come each year to see the birthplace of Ludwig Van Beethoven (Beethoven House) in Bonngasse which is a memorial site, museum and cultural institution serving several purposes.
