"Kölner Kochhaus" Cologne is a shop that offers everything chefs and passionate cooks need. You will find tools, pots, crockery and great cookbooks.

Brauhaus Johann Schäfer blends tradition with innovation. They have a reimagined brewery cuisine, regional flavors, homemade beer & attention to details.

"Rheinfähre Strolch" is a little ferry that crosses the Rhine in Cologne. I love doing it when I don't want to go to a bridge - I find it so entertaining!

"Kaffeefahrt" is in Cologne's Auerbachplatz market, which has changed little over the decades. Alex & his coffee trailer are always here, waiting for you!

"Aachener Weiher" in Cologne is charmingly tattered - the atmosphere next to the pond is magical. I recommend taking beer and food there yourself & enjoy!

"The Richter-Fenster" is a 106 square meter stained glass window in the Cologne Cathedral, the Dom. I keep coming here even if I've seen it so many times.

"Schee" Cologne is a creative little shop where you can find the coolest of things from cool lamps, stylish vases and shells, blankets and more!

"Rheinauhafen" is known as one of Cologne's last gentrified districts. I'm fascinated by the conversion of the industrial docklands to a modern 'Veedel'...

"MakiMaki Sushi Green" in Cologne makes vegan sushi, but completely unlike sushi you'd normally get. Every roll is a little surprise of flavor here...

"Pinocchio" in the centre of Cologne isn't just another pizza place with rubbish food. It's friendly, cheap and great quality -- and the river's close!

"Café Buur" in Cologne is perfect for me because it makes all-day breakfast every day! And not just any kind of breakfast, but every kind you can think of!
