While initially Cologne wasn't one of my favourite German cities, that has changed and I now love it and visit every year. It’s only 3 hours and 15 minutes on the TGV from Paris, making it the perfect place for a weekend getaway. Cologne is a very modern city, modern as in most of the architecture is from the 50s and 60s. So it’s not necessarily a pretty city but it’s great for shopping, the people are really friendly, the food is lecker, and it’s super cheap.
