Station 2B is a torrid sex club. I've been a few times but during Carnival so people are especially in a debauched mood, perhaps.

Any suggestions?

The Cathedral truly is impressive - the facade is second only to St. Peter's in terms of size --- take a trip up to the top of the bell tower. 503 steps. There is a museum of Roman ruins nearby -- mosaic floors that were unearthed.. A stroll on the riverfront, THEN the bathhouse and sex club.

The Dom in koln is magnificent! Climb to the top if they still allow it.

The Dom (cathedral) houses an alleged reliquary containing some bones of the three wise men. If that interests you.

I haven't been there in about 20 years but I greatly enjoyed Koln.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the cathedral!

First place I did ecstasy, can't remember the disco name

The Dom is colossal. It makes an impact, like the Pyramids. How they could conceive something like that back then.

I too am planning a trip to Cologne. Everyone I know who has been there tells me to beware of the pickpockets.

As opposed to Cologne, Minnesota, OP?

Museum Ludwig in Köln.

My father is from that part of Germany. The best part of that part of the country is the food and wine! To die for! Find gasthauser and go to bakeries! If you are only going to be there 2 days, have some memorable meals!

The Mosel valley has some excellent wines.

It was mostly destroyed during WWII (except the cathedral) and was replaced with cheap architecture.

Remembered the name of the club, Lulu. I see it's closed now.

Take a river cruise. They run for as short as an hour. Very much worth it, especially at this time of year.
