Ever since the sixties Cologne has been Germany´s artistic focal point, and today it has more than 100 galleries with a broad canvas covering everything from the Masters in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum to contemporary works in the Ludwig Museum.
Far from being one long lesson in Kultur - with more than 3000 bars and restaurants - Cologne boasts the proud statistic of having more watering holes per capita than any other city in Germany.
