    This was our second stop on our Germany trip to find the best city. We were pleasently surprised by how nice the vibe in Cologne was. Also: "Himmel und Äd"," Halve Hahn"... never heard of it! What do you think, which dish would be your favorite? Which cities should we visit next?

    Zuerst: ich bin in Düsseldorf geboren, aufgewachsen, habe dort studiert und lebe immer noch dort, weil ich diese Stadt liebe. Es ist eine kleine Stadt, eben ein Dorf, in der oft der Größenwahn ausbricht. Aber abseits der Altstadt und Kö kann man sehr gut leben. Genau wie in Köln, hier breche ich mal eine Lanze für die Nachbarstadt. Köln ist viel älter, hat viel mehr Geschichte. Wenn es eine Stadt gäbe, in der ich leben wollte, wäre es zu allererst Köln, allerdings dicht gefolgt von Berlin. Mir geht es um Lebensart, da sind die Rheinländer unschlagbar. Die Mieten sind vergleichbar hoch, sprich teuer, sicher nicht so teuer wie in München, aber schon an der Schmerzgrenze. Ihr macht nichts falsch, egal, ob Ihr Euch für Köln oder Düsseldorf entscheidet. Beide Städte sind sich ähnlicher, als sie es wahr haben wollen🥰. Deana: Kölsch mag nicht so bierig schmecken, mehr nach Wasser, aber nach 2 Stangen weiß man schon, wo der Hammer hängt😂😂😂! Von Süddeutschen werden die kölschen Stangen oder die kleinen Altbiergläser oft unterschätzt. Über die Auswirkungen werde ich hier schweigen..............

    Willy Millowitsch was one of the best known "peoples actor" of Germany especially Cologne. Maybe Americans know him from the Chevy Chase movie "National Lampoon’s European Vacation". He played the old man in this stereotypical german village where the Griswolds eat and sleep and the hosts don't know them at all. 🤣🤣🤣

    My hometown ❤️
    I live here now for 1 1/2 years. The history of my family starts here & I always wanted to move here.If you really consider living here I really recommend you to check out the different “Veedel” (districts). They are all so different! Not just from the way the live is there or the people. There are some districts with more nature or parks. In the summer everyone is relaxing and meeting there. The rents can be very different. When it comes to this: you can be very lucky, but often it really needs some time to find the right apartment. I’m living in Nippes and love it. The Autobahn is near, the public transport takes you where ever you want & you reach the city center & Dom very quickly, the Rhein is not far away & you have many little restaurants, café’s & store’s/ grocery stores around you. There is also a market from Monday-Saturday.

    Himmel un Ääd is a typical poor man's food. The Apple sauce is part of it and stands for the Himmel. The mashed potatoes stand for the Ääd (Earth). The blood sausage is just the side dish.
    On your way south you will come to my home town, Bonn. I'm a bit biased, but I think Bonn is the best City of the Rhineland.

    1:43 that's the Heinrich-Böll-Platz, a public square and at the same time the roof of the Kölner Philharmonie concert hall. The problem, if people walk over the square, it makes some noise on the inside of the hall and the fancy classical musicians don´t like it. So they hired people to close the quare several times a week, costing about 100.000€ per year.

    Das interessante an diesen Kurztrips ist eben mmer daß man, und da schließe ich mich selbst nicht aus, eben nur kurz die Highlights sehen kann aber nie das intensiver kennenlernen kann was die Stadt wirklich ausmacht: Die Menschen! Köln ist gerade dafür Deutschlandweit bekannt daß es extrem tollerant und offen ist, wie eben das gesamte Rheinland und der Pott. Köln auf Karneval zu reduzieren wäre ein großer Fehler da die Stadt eben extrem Lebenswert istgerade durch ihre wirklich sehr offene Art, die man in vielen anderen Regionen Deutschlands vergebens sucht. Also, kommt mal wieder und geht durch die Kneipen, Bars, Läden, kleinen Gassen und lernt Leute kennen, dann erlebt ihr Köln und das Rheinland -- die meisten kommen danach immer wieder :-) Schöne Zeit euch beiden.

    Welcome to my home-town. I love this city, but let's face it, the regional cuisine isn't as great as in other areas. Himmel un Ääd has been explained by plenty of people, and yes, the apple-sauce belongs in the mashed potatoes. If I remember correctly they serve it separately at Frühs.
    The thing you liked about the Gouda on the Halven Hahn is the fact that it usually is medium old to old Gouda. Much saltier than the regular "jonge Gouda (young gouda).
    And Deana fell into the "deadly Kölsch trap" Yes, Kölsch tastes relatively light compared to other German beers (A friend of mine from Bavaria once called it "Bierschorle") but that's tricky. Kölsch has 4,8% alc. and Weißbier is around 5-5,5 for the most part. Not so different. I've seen many overconfident Bavarians who ended up sleeping in the streets because they underestimated the alcohol level. =:-)))
    Yes the Crane houses are ridiculously expensive plus: when there is a flood, your parking garage is under water and if it really gets bad, you can only get to your fance apartment via boat....
    So glad, you liked it here, but yes, real estate prices have been exploding lately. Not as bad as Hamburg or Munich, but bad nontheless.

      Himmel un Äd has the apples on the plate, or as stated in the menu mixed with the potatoes. Rheinischer Sauerbraten isn't complete without a side of apple puree (it's also stated on the menu).
      I've heard some of the residents in the crane houses have complained about breathing in the ships' exhaust fumes. Guess what, that's what happens if you live *above* one of the world's busiest rivers.

Not sure if during pandemic that is happening. It gets very crowded. Did I say it's free. Fantastic venue with great sound. You probably walked across the ceiling of the Philharmonic. Security closes it off during a performance so pedestrians don't disturb the performance. The Belgian Quarter area of Koln is another area that we really liked. Great channel you two!

Früh Kölsch is my absolute favorite beer but I might be biased as it was the first beer I tried at age 16 😆 Stollwerk chocolate is the chocolate of Köln and there is a factory and tour center on the water below the cathedral if remember correctly, The most fascinating thing there was a giant gold chocolate fountain you could dip wafers into on your way into the factory tour. I’m hoping you also visit Stüttgart on your quest to find the best city which is an amazing city for arts and literature! And maybe look into Bremen up north - it may have changed a lot since I was last there but seemed to be a fun and interesting city.

On the Mountain itself there is a spot where you have a Restaurant With nice dining and a nice view. Also you can buy Sausage there. Another Restaurant I can Recoment in the region ist "Kloppers Brauhaus" in Sontra. There are also many regional Butchers where you even can get some of the stuff online . One I know of is called "der Teichhof".

There are probably more to do in Cologne,bigger city with 10 times more people,but also more big town stress and big town clogging,traffic wise and so on. The nicest thing there I believe,is that grandiose,very nice beautiful,amazing church,in Cologne..

    Also das schreit doch geradezu nach einer kulinarischen Reise durch Deutschland.
    - Harzer Roller
    - Aale Worscht
    - Scheufele
    - Möppchenbrod (aber auf jeden Fall mit Rübenkraut essen!)
    - Kieler Sprotten
    - Maultaschen
    - Schepperlinge
    - Wurstsuppe (die dicke Variante, nicht das wässrige Zeug das man heute in Gaststätten zum Schlachteessen bekommt)
    - Gebratene Oma (also nicht die echte / eigene ;-) )
    - Grünkohl und Pinkel
    - und noch mehr wie ein dutzend weiterer kulinarische Spezialitäten die ich hier bestimmt noch vergessen habe

    Ich bin letztes Jahr mit einem Freund mit Regionalbahnen durch die großen Städte (Westen, Süden, Osten; 8 Tage; komme aus der Nähe von Köln )gefahren. Das war auch super spannend, vor allem weil man so super viele Menschen in den Bahnen kennenlernt und den fließenden Übergang zu verschiedenen Dialekten live miterlebt :D Köln (9/10) -> Stuttgart (8/10) -> Freiburg (9/10) -> Friedrichshafen (9,5/10) -> Ulm (8/10) -> Nürnberg (7/10) -> Dresden (9,5/10) -> Erfurt (6/10) -> Köln

    Be nice too see while you are on a road trip some towns between the cities or on the way be nice to see other land marks other things of interest that are not always promoted by travel agencies. Its great to get away sometimes from where all the tourists are flooding to and explore on your own.

    The Apple Sauce belongs to the Himmel un Ääd , it´s the Himmel because it grows on trees . The potatoe is the Ääd becuase potatoes are growing in the Ground "Ääd"... Therefor its known as Himmel un Ääd which is served with Blutwurst...

    I've been living for six months in Essen now and I really recommend it if you wanna visit it or look for a place to live. It was an industrial city (still is) and it has not that many touristy places but it has a good amount of it. The city center is nice, the mall is right in the city center. There are very nice food places (and Asian supermarkets). There is Stadtwald which is so beautiful or Gruga Park where you can pet animals!! hehe. Also rent is not that expensive compared to Cologne or Düsseldorf. I live in a very popular neighborhood called Rüttenscheid with lots of stores, restaurants, bars, etc. I totally recommend a visit to the city

    Wenn Euch die Mieten in Köln und Düsseldorf zu hoch sind:
    Schaut Euch mal Leverkusen an. Das liegt genau dazwischen. Es ist nicht die hübscheste Stadt der Welt, aber die Infrastruktur ist ok, die Mieten sind noch recht günstig. Vor allem ist man mit der S-Bahn sehr schnell in Köln und Düsseldorf.
