Description

There are several museums and historic buildings in Cologne. One attraction that has proven to be popular with adults and kids alike is the Schokoladenmuseum or the Chocolate Museum. Those visiting the museum can take an interactive tour and get a rare look at all things chocolate. The purpose of the museum is for people to understand the difference between the more expensive, high-quality chocolates and the more common chocolates found in stores.

Another place popular with tourists is the Cologne Zoological Garden. It is an internationally renowned zoo and is active in breeding endangered animals. One of its most favoured features is a free-flight rainforest hall with free-ranging birds and reptiles. There is also an aquarium attached to the zoo.

Cologne has several shopping streets and areas popular with locals and tourists. The Schildergasse is a shopping street in central Cologne and is the busiest shopping street in Europe. Visitors can find all kinds of stores selling jewellery, clothes and much more. Neumarkt Galerie is a popular, modern, indoor shopping mall in Cologne. It is home to a wide selection of shops and cafes.
