Traveler reviews
Daniel G. Kostyushko
★★★★★2 weeks ago☀️ | Absolute favorite spot to catch the sunset in Cologne! 🌊 | Located right on the Rhine promenade near St. Clemens church, offering great views of the river and the city skyline. 🍺 | Super chill atmosphere. Perfect place to grab a cold drink from a local kiosk, sit on the wall, and relax with friends. ✨ | Highly recommend if you want to enjoy an authentic local evening vibe on the right side of the Rhine!

★★★★★5 months agoMeine Tochter wohnt in Köln und wir waren mit unserem Hund am Rhein. Haben uns dort hingesetzt und die Sonne genossen. Dort ist bei schönem Wetter reger Betrieb. Dort trifft man sich und sitzt auf der Mauer oder auf dem kleinen Wiesenhang davor. Viele bringen Getränke oder einen kleinen Snack mit und man lässt es sich gutgehen. Wirklich nett!
