Tour Details

The tour will begin in the center of Cologne. First, we'll head to the Heinzelmännchenbrunnen Fountain, named after some curious gnomes connected to the city of Cologne... mysterious!

We'll continue past other iconic spots in the city, such as the Rathaus, the promenade along the Rhine River, and the Fish Market Square.

The next stop will be next to a curious monumental fountain known as Willi Ostermann Brunnen, before we stroll past two of Cologne's most outstanding museums, the Wallraf-Richartz and the Kolumba. Wandering onwards, we'll reach Dufthaus 4711. Did you know that this shop is one of Cologne's most famous perfumeries?

We'll then make a stop in front of the EL-DE Haus, the former headquarters of the Gestapo. Our free tour will come to an end in the city center after a total of around 2 hours and 15-30 minutes.

Group Size

This free tour does not accept bookings for groups of over 6 people, even if booked separately. If you're a larger group, we recommend booking a private tour of Cologne with a guide.
