Innenstadt

Sprawling Innenstadt, the city center, includes the old town, with the towering, Gothic Cologne Cathedral and renowned art and history museums. Upscale stores line pedestrian shopping streets, and lively pubs and trendy bars in the Belgisches Viertel and Kwartier Latäng areas serve local Kölsch beer. The Rhine promenade is known for its gabled houses, and a cable car crosses the river to the landscaped Rheinpark.
